The 2023 Victoria Series was a women's Twenty20 International (T20I) cricket tournament that took place in Uganda in April 2023, the second edition of the Victoria Series. Zimbabwe had won the first edition in 2019, but they did not defend the title in this edition due to other commitments. The venue for all of the matches was the Lugogo Stadium in Kampala. The five-team tournament was contested by hosts Uganda, as well as Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania and United Arab Emirates. The tournament provided all teams with preparation for the 2023 ICC Women's T20 World Cup Africa Qualifier.
After Kenya's last match in the round-robin stage, the team's captain Sharon Juma announced her retirement from international cricket.
Uganda's 3-run win over Tanzania confirmed their place in the final with a game to spare. After the final was abandoned due to rain, Uganda were declared the champions due to having finished top of the round-robin stage. Henriette Ishimwe of Rwanda was named player of the tournament.
