The 2023 World Seniors Championship (officially the 2023 LLP Solicitors World Seniors Snooker Championship) was a snooker tournament that took place from 3 to 7 May 2023 at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield, England, the fifth consecutive year that the tournament was held at the venue. Open to all players over 40 who were ranked outside the top 64 in the snooker world rankings, the event was the 14th edition of the World Seniors Championship, first held in 1991. Organised by the World Seniors Tour, the event was broadcast domestically by the BBC and internationally by other broadcasters.
The main stage of the event featured 16 competitors. Former world champions Ken Doherty, Stephen Hendry, and Joe Johnson were among seven invited players. The holders of four regional seniors titles qualified for the main stage, along with four players who won qualifying events staged throughout the 2022–23 snooker season at the Crucible Sports and Social Club in Reading. The final participant was selected via a Golden Ticket playoff event. Unable to attend the event due to visa issues, African seniors champion Mohamed Khairy was replaced in the draw by Tony Knowles.
Lee Walker was the defending champion, having defeated Jimmy White 5–4 in the 2022 final, but he lost 1–3 to Gerard Greene in the last 16. White, aged 61, reached the final of the event for the sixth time—and a fifth consecutive year—where he defeated tournament debutant Alfie Burden 5–3 to win a record-extending fourth World Seniors title, following his previous wins in 2010, 2019, and 2020. Mark Davis made the tournament's highest break of 137 in his quarter-final match against Tony Drago.
