The 2023–24 season was the 138th season in the history of Plymouth Argyle and their first season back in the Championship since the 2009–10 season following their promotion from League One the season before. The club participated in the Championship, the FA Cup, and the EFL Cup.

Plymouth secured survival on 4 May 2024, the final day of the season, by virtue of beating play-off chasing Hull City 1–0 at Home Park.
