The Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2023 was the 21st edition of the Junior Eurovision Song Contest, organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and host broadcaster France Télévisions. The contest took place on 26 November 2023 at the Palais Nikaïa in Nice, France, following the country's victory at the {{Escyr|2022|Junior|2022 contest}} with the song "{{lang|fr|Oh Maman !|i=unset}}" by Lissandro. This was the second time that France hosted the Junior Eurovision Song Contest, the first being in Paris in {{Escyr|2021|J}}.

Sixteen countries participated in the contest, with {{Esccnty|Estonia|J}} participating for the first time and {{Esccnty|Germany|J}} returning after its absence from the previous edition, while {{Esccnty|Kazakhstan|J}} and {{Esccnty|Serbia|J}} did not take part. This was also the first and so far only time that all members of the "Big Five" from the Eurovision Song Contest took part in the junior contest together.

{{Esccnty|France|J|y=2023}}'s Zoé Clauzure was the winner of the contest with the song "{{Lang|fr|italics=no|Cœur}}", making France the second country to win the Junior Eurovision Song Contest twice in a row, after {{Esccnty|Poland|J}}. The result also marked France equaling {{Esccnty|Georgia|J}}'s record for the most Junior Eurovision victories. {{Esccnty|Spain|J|y=2023}}, {{Esccnty|Armenia|J|y=2023}}, the {{Esccnty|United Kingdom|J|y=2023}} and {{Esccnty|Ukraine|J|y=2023}} completed the top five. Further down the table, {{Esccnty|Germany|J|y=2023}} achieved its best result to date, {{Esccnty|Georgia|J|y=2023}} tied its worst placement, and {{Esccnty|Ireland|J|y=2023}} placed last for the first time.

Unlike in the Eurovision Song Contest, the winning country did not receive the automatic rights to host the next contest. However, since {{Escyr|2019|Junior|2019}}, each contest has been hosted by the previous year's winning country, and since 2011 (with the exceptions of {{Escyr|2012|Junior|2012}} and {{Escyr|2018|Junior|2018}}), the winning country has had the right of first refusal on hosting the following competition. In {{Escyr|2015|Junior|2015}}, Italy was given the option to host but ultimately opted out of it.{{Cite web |date=2015-01-27 |title=Bulgaria to Host Junior Eurovision Song Contest in 2015 - Novinite.com - Sofia News Agency |url=https://www.novinite.com/articles/166185/Bulgaria+to+Host+Junior+Eurovision+Song+Contest+in+2015 |access-date=2023-07-10 |website=novinite.com}}

Following France's win in {{Escyr|2022|junior}}, French head of delegation Alexandra Redde-Amiel and Director General of France Télévisions Delphine Ernotte revealed that the country wishes to host the contest in 2023.{{Cite web |title=Детское Евровидение 2023 |trans-title=Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2023 |url=https://www.kp.ru/afisha/msk/obzory/muzyka/detskoe-evrovidenie-2023/ |access-date=2023-07-06 |website=Komsomolskaya Pravda |language=ru}} On 3 April 2023, the EBU and France Télévisions announced that the contest would be held in Nice.{{Cite web |last=Korycińska |first=Zuzanna |date=2023-04-03 |title=Znamy datę i miejsce Eurowizji Junior 2023 |trans-title=We know the date and venue of Junior Eurovision 2023 |url=https://allaboutmusic.pl/znamy-date-i-miejsce-eurowizji-junior-2023/ |access-date=2023-07-05 |website=All About Music |language=pl}}

Contestants were featured in "postcard" video introductions, set in different locations in Nice. Each postcard began with a child participating in an activity of their choice and facing a setback that discourages them, before the upcoming performer, standing on top of a building, empowered them to accomplish their task. At the end of each postcard, the children participating in the aforementioned activity creatively recreated the flag of the upcoming performer's representative country, after which it transitioned to the stage.{{Cite web |last=Farren |first=Neil |date=2023-11-25 |title=Live From Nice – Junior Eurovision 2023 Jury Final |url=https://eurovoix.com/2023/11/25/live-from-nice-junior-eurovision-2023-jury-final/ |access-date=2023-11-25 |website=Eurovoix |language=en-GB}}
