The 2023 Indian motorcycle Grand Prix (officially known as the IndianOil Grand Prix of India) was the thirteenth round of the 2023 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season. It was held at the Buddh International Circuit in Greater Noida on 24 September 2023.
All of the races were shortened in distance because of the requests from riders and the official tyre suppliers due to the high heat and humidity in the circuit. The MotoGP sprint and both Moto2 and Moto3 races were shortened by a lap, while the MotoGP main race on Sunday was shortened by three laps.
