The 2023 Louisville Cardinals women's soccer team represented University of Louisville during the 2023 NCAA Division I women's soccer season. The Cardinals were led by head coach Karen Ferguson-Dayes, in her twenty-fourth season. They played home games at Lynn Stadium. This was the team's 39th season playing organized women's college soccer and their 10th playing in the Atlantic Coast Conference.
The Caridnals had a rocky start to their non-conference season, with their first win not coming until September 3. That would be their only win during non-conference play and they finished with a 1–4–3 record. They only played one other power 5 school, Indiana, and the Cardinals lost 2–0. They began ACC play with a tie against Virginia who was ranked 20th at the time, and a win over Pittsburgh. However, that momentum did not continue as they lost their next three games. They mustered two more wins during conference play, against Syracuse and 25th ranked Duke to end the season.
The Cardinals finished the season 4–9–5 overall and 3–5–2 in ACC play to finish in ninth place. The team did not qualify for the ACC Tournament and were not invited to the NCAA Tournament. Their four overall wins, were the lowest for the team since 2001. Their three conference wins matched their total in the last two years.
