2023 PBA All-Star Weekend

The 2023 PBA All-Star Weekend was the annual all-star weekend of the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA)'s 2022–23 season. This was the first PBA All-Star weekend since 2019 as the event has not been held since due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Highlighting the weekend was the All-Star Game between Team Japeth and Team Scottie.

This edition was exclusive for big men (power forwards and centers).

The Greats vs. Stalwarts format of the Blitz Game returned for the first time since 2016. Both teams were only composed of rookies, sophomores, and junior (third year) players. The game also introduced a four-point line and a three-point dunk.

^WD5 Calvin Oftana was selected as a replacement to the All-Star Game and was subsequently removed from the Blitz Game.
^REP5 Andrei Caracut was selected as Calvin Oftana's replacement.
