State Highway 23 (SH 23) is a state highway in Lipscomb County, Texas, United States, in the Texas Panhandle, that connects U.S. Route 83 (US 83) (northwest of Canadian) with Oklahoma State Highway 23 (OK SH 23) at the Oklahoma state line. The highway's route designation is numerically continuous with subsequent routes in Oklahoma and Kansas and, together with OK SH 23 and Kansas Highway 23, forms part of a single route from US 83 in Texas to US 83 near Selden, Kansas.

The route number was one of the original highways proposed by the state highway department on April 4, 1917, and was used over various shifting alignments in central and north central Texas in the 1920s and 1930s. The current highway was originally built as part of Texas' system of Farm to Market Roads on July 14, 1949. The state began signing the route as SH 23 on January 27, 1959, although the highway officially retained its Farm to Market designation until August 29, 1990. SH 23 intersects one other state highway, SH 15, at Booker.
