The 1923 Washington and Lee Generals football team represented Washington and Lee University during the 1923 college football season. The Generals competed in the Southern Conference (SoCon) and were coached by Jimmy DeHart in his second year as head coach, compiling a 6–2–1 record overall with a 4–0–1 mark in SoCon play.

The Generals were scheduled to play at Washington & Jefferson on October 6. This game was canceled after Washington and Lee refused to take the field after Washington & Jefferson declined to keep African-American halfback Charles Fremont West out of the game.
