The 2022–23 Lafayette Leopards men's basketball team represented Lafayette College in the 2022–23 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Leopards, led by first-year head coach Mike Jordan, played their home games at the Kirby Sports Center in Easton, Pennsylvania as members of the Patriot League. They finished the season 11–23, 7–11 in Patriot League play to finish in a four-way tie for sixth place. As the No. 6 seed in the Patriot League tournament, they defeated Lehigh and American to advance to the tournament championship for the first time since 2015. There they lost to Colgate.
On February 21, 2023 (two games before the end of the season), head coach Mike Jordan was placed on administrative leave following a complaint. Mike McGarvey was appointed as acting head coach.[1] On March 29, the school announced that McGarvey would take over as the team's new coach.[2]
