The 2023 PSA Women's World Squash Championship was the 2023 women's edition of the World Squash Championships, which served as the individual world championship for squash players. The event took place in Chicago, United States from 3 to 11 May 2022. It was the third time that Chicago hosted the PSA World Championships after 2018–19 & 2020–21 editions.^[1]^[2]

Top seeds Nº1 Nouran Gohar and N2º Nour El Sherbini met in the final, marking the 14th Gohar–El Sherbini PSA series final.
