The 1923 Chicago White Sox season was a season in Major League Baseball. The White Sox finished seventh in the American League with a record of 69 wins and 85 losses.

It was notably marked by labor controversy in relation to Kenesaw Mountain Landis a judicial federal judge and Commissioner of Baseball, who made a decision which cut building trade wages in Chicago by 12.5%. In response unions called for a labor boycott of the White Sox and Chicago Cubs.[1]
