# 2022–23 US Monastir basketball season

The 2022–23 season of US Monastir was the 64th in the club's history. It is the club's third season in the Basketball Africa League (BAL). This season US Monastir was coached by Marouan Kechrid until October, when Linos Gavriel took over. However, Gavriel did not coach during the 2023 BAL season, where the head coaching duties were given to former BAL championship-winning Miodrag Perišić.
In February, Monastir was the first Tunisian team to play in the FIBA Intercontinental Cup. In the BAL season, they were surprisingly eliminated in the Sahara Conference, losing on tie-breakers to four other teams after the team had finished with a 3-2 record.
In the 2022–23 Championnat Pro A, US Monastir won their fifth consecutive national championship following their 3–1 finals series win over Club Africain.
