The 2023 Richmond Spiders football team represented the University of Richmond as a member of Coastal Athletic Association Football Conference (CAA) in the 2023 NCAA Division I FCS football season.

The CAA, formerly known as the Colonial Athletic Association from 2007 through 2022, changed its name in July 2023 to accommodate future membership expansion outside of the Thirteen Colonies.
