The 2023 Ontario Liberal Party leadership election was held following the resignation of Steven Del Duca on June 2, 2022, after the party won only 8 seats and failed again to gain official party status in the general election. The leadership votes were held between November 25–26, with the ballots counted and announced on December 2, with Bonnie Crombie winning on the third ballot.
