The 2023 ICC Women's T20 World Cup Europe Qualifier was a cricket tournament that formed part of the qualification process for the 2024 ICC Women's T20 World Cup. In an expanded qualification pathway for women's cricket in Europe, this was the first time that a second division was included. The first stage of the tournament was Division Two, held in Jersey in May and June 2023. Six teams played in Division Two, with the top two sides progressing to Division One, which was played in Spain in September 2023. The top two teams in Division One advanced to the 2024 ICC Women's T20 World Cup Qualifier along with Ireland, Sri Lanka and six other regional qualifiers.
France and Italy advanced from Division Two. Scotland and Netherlands were the top two sides in Division One and therefore advanced to the global qualifier. Scotland won the event on net run rate, but Netherlands' Iris Zwilling was named player of the tournament.
In November 2023, following the conclusion of the qualifier, it was reported that the Association France Cricket may have fabricated data about women's cricket activities in the country in order to meet ICC eligibility requirements for participation in the World Cup qualification process.
