The 2023 Monte Carlo Rally (also known as the 91e Rallye Automobile Monte-Carlo) was a motor racing event for rally cars that held over four days between 19 and 22 January 2023. It marked the ninety-first running of the Monte Carlo Rally, and was the first round of the 2023 World Rally Championship, World Rally Championship-2 and World Rally Championship-3. The 2023 event was based in Monte Carlo, Monaco and was consisted of eighteen special stages, covering a total competitive distance of 325.02 km (201.96 mi).
Sébastien Loeb and Isabelle Galmiche were the defending rally winners. However, they did not defend their titles as Loeb's schedule was conflict with the 2023 Dakar Rally. Andreas Mikkelsen and Torstein Eriksen were the defending rally winners in the WRC-2 category, while Sami Pajari and Enni Mälkönen were the defending rally winners in the WRC-3 category.
Sébastien Ogier and Vincent Landais won the rally. Their team, Toyota Gazoo Racing WRT, were the manufacturer's winners. Nikolay Gryazin and Konstantin Aleksandrov initially finished first in the World Rally Championship-2 category. However, they were given a five-second time penalty, handing the win to Yohan Rossel and Arnaud Dunand.
The following crews entered into the rally. The event was opened to crews competing in the World Rally Championship, its support categories, the World Rally Championship-2 and World Rally Championship-3, and privateer entries that were not registered to score points in any championship. Ten entered under Rally1 regulations, as were twenty-seven Rally2 crews in the World Rally Championship-2.
