The 2023 Cork Premier Senior Hurling Championship was the fourth staging of the Cork Premier Senior Hurling Championship and the 135th staging overall of a championship for the top-ranking hurling teams in Cork. The draw for the group stage placings took place on 11 December 2022.[1] The championship ran from 6 June to 15 October 2023.

St. Finbarr's entered the championship as the defending champions, however, they were beaten by Sarsfields in the semi-finals.[2][3] 27-time champions Glen Rovers' relegation brought an end to 97 years of top tier hurling for the club.[4]

The final was played on 15 October 2023 at Páirc Uí Chaoimh in Cork, between Sarsfields and Midleton, in what was second meeting in the final overall and a first meeting in 10 years. Sarsfields won the match by 0–21 to 0–19 to claim their seventh championship title overall and a first title in nine years.[5][6]

Ben Cunningham was the championship's top scorer with 1-58.
