The 2022–23 Davidson Wildcats men's basketball team represented Davidson College during the 2022–23 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Wildcats were led by first-year head coach Matt McKillop and played their home games at the John M. Belk Arena in Davidson, North Carolina as members of the Atlantic 10 Conference (A-10).

Previous season

The Wildcats finished the 2021–22 season 27–7, 15–3 in A-10 play, to win the regular season championship. They defeated Fordham and Saint Louis to advance to the championship game of the A-10 tournament where they lost to Richmond. They received an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament as the No. 10 seed in the West Region, where they lost in the first round to Michigan State.

On June 18, 2022, the school announced that head coach Bob McKillop was retiring after 33 years at the school.[1] His son, Matt McKillop, who had served as an assistant for 14 years, was promoted to head coach.[2]
