The 2023–24 Dallas Mavericks season was the 44th season for the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA). This was also the final season that had Mark Cuban being the sole owner of the Mavericks, as during this season, the team would transition Cuban to a minority ownership stake, while both Miriam Adelson and Patrick Dumont would hold a majority ownership stake in the team near the end of 2023.[1][2]

At the February trade deadline, the Mavericks were 8th in the Western Conference with a 29–23 record when they acquired center Daniel Gafford from the Washington Wizards and forward P. J. Washington from the Charlotte Hornets. With Gafford, Washington and rookie Dereck Lively II on the roster, the team went 22–9 since the deadline and finished 5th in the West. They improved upon their 38–44 record from last season and qualified for the playoffs after their absence in the playoffs the previous season. They would also win the Southwest Division title over the New Orleans Pelicans near the end of the regular season.

The Mavericks defeated the Los Angeles Clippers and the top-seeded Oklahoma City Thunder each in six games to advance to their second Conference Finals appearance in three seasons, where they defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves in five games to advance to the 2024 NBA Finals, the franchise's third ever Finals appearance and their first in 13 years since their lone title in 2011, which featured current head coach Jason Kidd as a player on that team. However, the Mavericks were ultimately bested by the Boston Celtics in five games.
