Miss Earth 2023 was the 23rd Miss Earth pageant held at Vạn Phúc City in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, on 22 December 2023.

Drita Ziri of Albania won and was crowned by Miss Earth 2022 Mina Sue Choi of South Korea. It is the first time Albania has won the pageant, and its first crown in the Big Four international beauty pageants. At 18 years 6 months, Ziri became the youngest winner of Miss Earth. She surpassed the inaugural titleholder Catharina Svensson, who won as Miss Earth 2001 at the age of 19.[1] Crowned in the same event are Yllana Aduana of the Philippines as Miss Earth-Air, Đỗ Thị Lan Anh of Vietnam as Miss Earth-Water, and Cora Bliault of Thailand as Miss Earth-Fire.

Contestants from eighty-five countries and territories participated, which was hosted by James Deakin for the seventh consecutive time, along with Huỳnh Thị Thùy Dung. Barbadian singer Shontelle, and Vietnamese singers Jaykii, MONO, and Sara Luu also performed.[2][3]

The competition also featured the debut of the Long Beach Pearl crown, which is made of gold and eighty-seven pearls and gemstones.[4][5]
