The 2023 Allsvenskan was the 99th season of Sweden's top-level football league, Allsvenskan. A total of 16 teams participated. BK Häcken were the defending champions after winning the title in the previous season. IF Brommapojkarna and Halmstads BK were promoted after finishing first and second in the 2022 Superettan, while Varbergs BoIS staved off relegation by defeating third placed Östers IF.

Malmö FF clinched their 23rd Swedish championship title and 26th Allsvenskan title on 12 November 2023, the final game day of the regular season, by defeating the other title competitor, IF Elfsborg, 1–0 at home. This was the first time since 2009 that the title was decided in the final round, and the first time since 2009 that it was decided in the final round in a game between the top two teams. IF Brommapojkarna were forced to defend their Allsvenskan status in a relegation series and Degerfors IF and Varbergs BoIS were directly relegated to the 2024 Superettan.

The 2023 Allsvenskan season began on 1 April, and ended on 12 November 2023 (not including play-off matches).
