The 2023 Wimbledon Championships Men's Singles final was the championship tennis match of the men's singles tournament at the 2023 Wimbledon Championships. First seed Carlos Alcaraz defeated second seed and four-time defending champion Novak Djokovic in five sets to win the title 1–6, 7–6(8–6), 6–1, 3–6, 6–4. At 4 hours and 42 minutes, it was the third-longest Wimbledon final in history by duration, the longest being the 2019 final (4 hours and 57 minutes), which also featured Djokovic.[1][2]

Djokovic was aiming to win a fifth consecutive Wimbledon trophy (which would have equalled Björn Borg and Roger Federer's Open Era record), an eighth title overall (matching Federer's all-time record), and complete the third part of a prospective calendar year Grand Slam.[3] Djokovic's loss was his first on Centre Court in a decade, since losing the 2013 final to Andy Murray, and was his only loss at the majors that year. Alcaraz retained the world No. 1 ranking with his victory,[4][5] and became the first player outside the Big Four to win the tournament since the 2002 Championships.

Carlos Alcaraz was presented with the Gentlemen's Singles Trophy by the Princess of Wales.
