The 2022–23 Premier League of Bosnia and Herzegovina (known as m:tel Premier League for sponsorship reasons) was the 23rd season of the Premier League of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the highest football league of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Zrinjski Mostar successfully defended their title, securing an eighth Premier League title with four matches to spare.[1]
