The 2023 Asian Tour was the 28th season of the modern Asian Tour (formerly the Asian PGA Tour), the main professional golf tour in Asia (outside of Japan) since it was established in 1995.
Changes for 2023 New tournaments for the 2023 season included the International Series Oman, the International Series Qatar, the World City Championship in Hong Kong, the International Series Vietnam and the St Andrews Bay Championship played at Fairmont St Andrews in Scotland (the first Asian Tour event to be staged in Scotland).
The SJM Macao Open also returned to the schedule for the first time since 2017.
Two events from the 2020–22 Asian Development Tour schedule were upgraded to events on the 2023 Asian Tour schedule. They included the Taiwan Glass Taifong Open and the Saudi Open.
The season marked a switch of format in the Order of Merit, which saw it become a points-based system, rather than based on money earned.
