The 2023–24 NIFL Premier Intermediate League (known as the Lough 41 Premier Intermediate League for sponsorship reasons) is the seventh season of the NIFL Premier Intermediate League, the third tier of the Irish League - the national football league in Northern Ireland. The season began on 26 August 2023.

Bangor were the champions of the previous season and promoted to the 2023–24 NIFL Championship. They were replaced by Warrenpoint Town, who were relegated from the 2022–23 NIFL Championship due to a licensing issue. PSNI were reprieved from relegation, and both Coagh United and Rathfriland Rangers were promoted as champions of the 2022–23 Ballymena & Provincial Football League and Northern Amateur Football League respectively, increasing the number of teams by two.
