The 1923 Dayton Flyers football team was an American football team that represented the University of Dayton as an independent during the 1923 college football season. The team compiled a 4–5 record.[1]

Harry Baujan was hired as Dayton's head football coach prior to the 1923 season. He had played football under Knute Rockne at Notre Dame.[2] In his first game as head coach, Baujan led Dayton to a 161-0 victory over the Indiana Central Normal School.[3]

Baujan served as Dayton's head coach through the 1946 season and was posthumously inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1990.[4]
