The 2023–24 Orlando Magic season is the 35th season for the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA). This is Orlando's third season with Jamahl Mosley as head coach. With a win over the Detroit Pistons on March 3, the Magic would collect their 35th win on the season and improve on their win total from their previous season.

The Magic started out their season hot by having a record of 13–5 in the month of November, but after struggles in the months of December and January, their record dropped to 25–23, but then they rebounded going 22–9 in their next three months, helping their record improve to 47–35, making them improve from their 34–48 record from last season by 13 wins, and giving them a winning season for the first time in five seasons. Their 47 wins was the most the Magic have had in a season since 2010-11.

On the last day of the NBA's regular season, the Magic would clinch their first playoff berth since the bubble-shortened 2019–20 season and would win the Southeast division for the first time since the 2018–19 season.
