The 2022–23 Big Bash League season or BBL|12 was the twelfth edition of the Big Bash League (BBL), the professional men's Twenty20 domestic cricket competition in Australia. The round-robin phase of the tournament ran from 13 December 2022 to 4 February 2023 with Perth Scorchers dominating the standings. Perth won their fifth BBL title, beating Brisbane Heat in the final by five wickets.

Perth Scorchers were the defending champions, having won their fourth title in the 2021–22 Big Bash League season. The season saw the implementation of the international draft system, and removal of the Bash Boost point and X-Factor from the tournament. The Decision Review System was also implemented for the first time, with each team having one review available per innings, retaining the review if successful.
