Celebrity Treasure Island 2023 (Celebrity Treasure Island: Te Waipounamu) is the seventh celebrity edition and the 14th season overall of the New Zealand reality-television series Treasure Island which filmed for the first time in Wānaka, Te Waipounamu/South Island while Cyclone Gabrielle affected the North Island in the summer of 2023.[1][2]

This season premiered on 18 September 2023, and aired weekly, Monday to Wednesday, at 7:30 PM on TVNZ 2 and TVNZ+, hosted by Bree Tomasel and Jayden Daniels.[3]
