The 2022–23 East of Scotland Football League (known as the Central Taxis East of Scotland League for sponsorship reasons) was the 94th season of the East of Scotland Football League, and the 9th season with its top division as part of the sixth tier of the Scottish football pyramid system. The season began on 30 July 2022 and ended on 27 May 2023. Tranent Juniors were the reigning champions but were unable to defend their title after gaining promotion to the Lowland Football League.

After running with multiple conferences as part of its structure for the past four seasons, the league moved to four linear divisions to accommodate the 60 clubs taking part. Linlithgow Rose won the Premier Division and became the fifth East of Scotland League and former SJFA East Region club to gain promotion to the Lowland League.

The Premier Division reverted to a 16 team division, with Haddington Athletic and Oakley United promoted from First Division Conferences A and B respectively.[1] A 2–1 win for Linlithgow Rose at Haddington Athletic on 29 April 2023, gave them an unassailable eight-point lead over Sauchie Juniors with two games remaining. They were promoted to the 2023–24 Lowland Football League as neither Abbey Vale or Beith Juniors held an SFA club licence to contest the play-off.
