The 2023 IIHF U20 World Championship Division I was a pair of international under-20 ice hockey tournaments organized by the International Ice Hockey Federation. Division I consisted of two tiered groups of six teams each: the second-tier Division I A and the third-tier Division I B. For each tier's tournament, the first-placed team was promoted to a higher division, while the last-placed team was relegated to a lower division.

To be eligible as a junior player in these tournaments, a player couldn't be born earlier than 2003.
