The 2023 West Asian Baseball Cup is the 15th edition of the tournament, held from 26 January to February 1, at the Pakistan Sports Complex in Islamabad, Pakistan.

The 2023 edition of the tournament sees Palestine participating for the first time in the competition.

The tournament was originally scheduled to be held in Iran in 2021, but was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
