The 1973 San Diego Chargers season was the team's fourteenth year, and fourth year in the National Football League.
The team was coming off a season that ended with a 4–9–1 record. Despite the fact that he was offered a five-year contract toward the end of the previous season, 1973 would prove to be Harland Svare's final season as the team's head coach.
