The 2022–23 North Region Junior Football League was the 21st season of the North Region Junior Football League for SJFA North Region member clubs, and the 2nd season with its top division as part of the sixth tier of the Scottish football pyramid system. The league reverted back to a two-tier setup, featuring a 14-team Premier League and 16-team Championship.
Banks O' Dee were the reigning champions but were unable to defend their title after gaining promotion to the Highland League. Culter won a record eighth title, and their first since 2013–14, winning all but two of their first twenty-four games, giving them an unassailable five-point lead over Hermes, ahead of the latter's final game.
As a result, Culter will enter the 2023–24 Scottish Cup at the preliminary round stage.
