The 2023 Sul Ross Lobos football team represented Sul Ross State University during the 2023 NCAA Division III football season as a member of the American Southwest Conference (ASC). The Lobos were led by second-year head coach Barry Derickson and played their home games at Jackson Field in Alpine, Texas. The team finished with a record of 4–6.

The 2023 season marked the first year of a transition period from Division III to Division II for the program.[1] As a result, the Lobos were ineligible for the conference championship and postseason play.[2] This was also the program's last season as a member of the ASC as the program will rejoin the Lone Star Conference (LSC) beginning with the 2024 season.[3]
