The following is a list of match officials (referees, assistant referees, and video assistant referees) who officiated at the 2023 AFC Asian Cup in Qatar.

Referees and assistant referees

On 14 September 2023, the AFC announced the list of 33 referees, 37 assistant referees, two stand-by referees and two stand-by assistant referees for the tournament, including two female referees and three female assistant referees. Video Assistant Referee (VAR) will be used for the entire tournament following its implementation from the quarter-final stage onwards in the 2019 edition.[1] The Semi-Automated Offside Technology (SAOT) system, which utilises 12 specialised cameras and artificial intelligence, will also be implemented at all 51 matches. This marks the first time that SAOT will be in place at an AFC competition and makes the AFC the first confederation to apply the system at the continental men's national team level.[2]

On 11 January 2023, AFC announced that Iranian-born Australian referee Alireza Faghani would adjudicate the first match of the tournament.
