The 2023 PSA Men's World Squash Championship was the 2023 men's edition of the World Squash Championships, which served as the individual world championship for squash players. The event took place in Chicago, United States, from 3 to 11 May 2023. It was the third time that Chicago hosted the PSA World Championships after 2018–19 & 2020–21 editions.[1][2]
