2022–23 FIS Cross-Country World Cup

The 2022–23 FIS Cross-Country World Cup, organized by the International Ski Federation was the 42nd World Cup in cross-country skiing for men and women. The season started on 25 November 2022 in Ruka, Finland and concluded on 26 March 2023 in Lahti, Finland.

The season featured a break in February and March for the World Championships in Planica.

Johannes Høsflot Klæbo from Norway and Natalya Nepryayeva from Russia were the defending overall champions from the 2021–22 season. Nepryayeva couldn't defend her title because of the decision of the FIS Council, that Russia and Belarus have been suspended for this World Cup season due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Klæbo defended the title and won his fourth World Cup title. Women's overall victory award went to Norwegian Tiril Udnes Weng for the first time.
