† – Conference champion ‡ – 2023 MIVA Tournament champion y- Invited to the NCAA Volleyball Tournament As of January 22, 2025 Rankings from AVCA

The 2023 Lindenwood Lions men's volleyball team represented Lindenwood University in the 2023 NCAA Division I & II men's volleyball season. The Lions, led by fifth year head coach Joe Kosciw, played their home games at Robert F. Hyland Arena.^[2] The Lions were members of the Midwestern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association and were picked to finish seventh in the MIVA preseason poll.^[3] Because D1 and D2 men's volleyball are combined, Lindenwood's move to D1's OVC did not affect the men's volleyball program, and they were eligible for all postseason play.^[4]
