The 2022–23 Houston Rockets season was the 56th season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA), and 52nd season in the city of Houston.[1]

The team selected Jabari Smith Jr. at third overall, looking to improve on last season's record of 20–62.

With their 96–118 loss to the Brooklyn Nets on March 7, 2023, the Houston Rockets were officially eliminated from playoff contention for the third consecutive season.
