The 2023 Laois Senior Hurling Championship was the 130th staging of the Laois Senior Hurling Championship since its establishment by the Laois County Board in 1888. The draw for the group stage placings took place in March 2023. The championship ran from 19 July to 8 October 2023.

Clough–Ballacolla entered the championship as the defending champions, however, they were beaten by Camross at the semi-final stage. Borris-in-Ossory/Kilcotton, who had contested three of the previous four finals, were relegated after being beaten by The Harps in a relegation playoff.

The final was played on 8 October 2023 at Laois Hire O'Moore Park in Port Laoise, between Camross and Abbeyleix St Lazarian's, in what was their second meeting in the final overall and a first meeting in 78 years. Camross won the match by 4–18 to 0–14 to claim their 27th championship title overall and a first title in five years.

Clough–Ballacolla's Stephen Maher was the championship's top scorer with 4-51.
