The Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2023 was the 21st edition of the Junior Eurovision Song Contest, organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and host broadcaster France Télévisions. The contest took place on 26 November 2023 at the Palais Nikaïa in Nice, France, following the country's victory at the 2022 contest with the song "Oh Maman !" by Lissandro. This was the second time that France hosted the Junior Eurovision Song Contest, the first being in Paris in 2021.
Sixteen countries participated in the contest, with Estonia participating for the first time and Germany returning after its absence from the previous edition, while Kazakhstan and Serbia did not take part. This was also the first time that all members of the "Big Five" from the Eurovision Song Contest took part in the junior contest together.
France's Zoé Clauzure was the winner of the contest with the song "Cœur", making France the second country to win the Junior Eurovision Song Contest twice in a row, after Poland. The result also marked France equaling Georgia's record for the most Junior Eurovision victories. Spain, Armenia, the United Kingdom and Ukraine completed the top five. Further down the table, Germany achieved its best result to date, while Albania had its second-best result, Georgia tied its worst placement, and Ireland placed last for the first time.
