The 2023 NC State Wolfpack women's soccer team represented NC State University during the 2023 NCAA Division I women's soccer season. The Wolfpack were led by head coach Tim Santoro, in his twelfth season. They played their home games at Dail Soccer Field. This was the team's 40th season playing organized women's college soccer and their 37th playing in the Atlantic Coast Conference.

Contents

The Wolfpack had a difficult non-conference slate, with 50% of their non-conference games being against Power 5 opposition. The difficulty of the slate was reflected in their record, as they came away from their eight non-conference games with only one win. Their ACC season did not start much better, as their lost their first game before tying the next two. This was followed by two losses. Their fortunes turned around as they won two of their next three before losing their final two games. They finished 3–9–6 overall and 2–5–3 in ACC play to finish in a tie for tenth place place. They did not qualify for the ACC Tournament and were not invited to the NCAA Tournament.

The Wolfpack's three wins were the second lowest in program history, with only 2014 having fewer wins. 2023 was the second straight year where the Wolfpack only finished with two conference wins. This season broke a streak of two straight NCAA tournament invites.

Previous season

The Wolfpack finished 7–7–6 overall and 2–6–2 in ACC play to finish in eleventh place. They did not qualify for the ACC Tournament. Their seven overall wins were their worst since 2015, excluding a shortened 2020. They received an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament. As the eighth-seed in the UCLA Bracket they hosted UCF who was ranked #20 in the polls at the time. The match ended in a 1–1 draw, but the Wolfpack lost the ensuing penalty shootout 4–2 to end their season.
