1923 Green Bay Packers season

The 1923 Green Bay Packers season was their fifth season overall and their third season in the National Football League (NFL). The team finished with a 7–2–1 record under player/coach Curly Lambeau earning them third place. This was the Packers' first season in Bellevue Park.

The NFL season opener on September 30, bringing the Minneapolis Marines to town for their NFL debut, drew a paid attendance of 3,008 — said to be "the largest crowd that ever witnessed a football game in Green Bay." That figure would be exceeded twice more during the year.
