The 2023–24 PAOK FC season was the club's 98th season in existence and the club's 65th consecutive season in the top flight of Greek football. In addition to the domestic league, PAOK participated in this season's editions of the Greek Cup and in the Europa Conference League.

PAOK had an amazing season, breaking the club's records on matches won (40 from 58 games) and goals scored (135). PAOK reached the quarter-finals of the UEFA Conference league and in the league they finished first in the regular season and managed to remain on top after the conclusion of the play-offs, winning their fourth league title on a remarkable fashion.[2] PAOK defeated all their major rivals (AEK, Olympiacos, Panathinaikos and Aris) in the last four matches, winning against the three league contenders from Athens at home and clinching the title with a 1–2 away victory over city rivals Aris at the Kleanthis Vikelidis Stadium on 19 May 2024.[3]
