The 2023 Dally M Awards were presented on 27 September 2023. They are the official annual awards of the National Rugby League and are named after Dally Messenger.
Several changes were implemented for the voting process for the 2023 season, including the introduction of a second independent judge, raising the maximum votes a player can receive per match from three to six. The point deduction for a one-game suspension was also raised from three to six, while players suspended for two or more games remain ineligible to receive any awards.
