The 2023 Ballon d'Or was the 67th annual ceremony of the Ballon d'Or, presented by France Football magazine, recognising the best footballers in the world in the 2022–23 season. For the second time in the history of the award, it was given based on the results of the season instead of the calendar year, with the season starting on 1 August 2022 and ending 31 July 2023.[3] The nominees were announced on 6 September 2023 and the ceremony took place on 30 October 2023.[1]

Lionel Messi won the award for a record-extending eighth time after leading Argentina in their victorious 2022 FIFA World Cup campaign.[4][5] Thus Messi became the only player in history to win the award with three different clubs (Barcelona, PSG, Inter Miami) and the only one to win it while playing outside Europe (USA). Aitana Bonmatí won her first Ballon d'Or Féminin, after she won the 2022–23 Women's Champions League with FC Barcelona and the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup with Spain.[6] In the other award categories, Jude Bellingham was given the Kopa Trophy, Emiliano Martínez won the Yashin Trophy, the Sócrates Award was given to Vinícius Júnior, Erling Haaland claimed the Gerd Müller Trophy,[7] the Men's Club of the Year award went to Manchester City for the second year in a row and FC Barcelona received the inaugural Women's Club of the Year award.[8][9]
