The 2023–24 Nashville Predators season was the 26th season for the National Hockey League franchise that was established on June 25, 1997.^[2] The Predators made the playoffs for the ninth time in 10 years after having missed the playoffs last season.

This was the team's first season without David Poile as general manager, following his retirement on June 30, 2023, although he still currently remains with the organization as a creative consultant.^[3] Poile was previously the only general manager in team history and retired as both the longest tenured and winningest general manager in team history.^[4] On April 9, 2024, the Predators clinched a playoff berth following a 4–3 overtime loss to the Winnipeg Jets.^[5] In the Playoffs, the Predators faced the Vancouver Canucks, losing in six games.^[6]
