The 2023 season was the New England Patriots' 54th season in the National Football League (NFL), their 64th overall, their 22nd playing home games at Gillette Stadium and their 24th and final under head coach Bill Belichick.

The Patriots started 1–5 for the first time since 1995. Following their Week 12 loss to the New York Giants, the Patriots failed to improve on their 8–9 record from 2022. This was the first time the Patriots had back-to-back losing seasons since 1992–1993. The Patriots missed the postseason for the second consecutive year (and third in four seasons). Following a Week 17 loss to the Buffalo Bills, the Patriots finished last in the AFC East for the first time since 2000. The 4–13 record marked Belichick's worst-ever season as an NFL head coach, and the Patriots' worst season since 1992.

The team's offense finished last in scoring (tied with the Panthers). They were also shutout twice, failed to score 10 or more points in 6 games, failed to score 20 or more points in 12 games, and failed to score 30 or more points for the first time since 1991. The Patriots also failed to win consecutive games for the first time since 1990. Belichick and the Patriots mutually agreed to part ways following the season's conclusion.
