The 2023 Netball Quad Series was the ninth Netball Quad Series series. It was hosted by Netball South Africa. It featured Australia, England, New Zealand and South Africa playing each other in a series of eight netball test matches in January 2023. All eight matches were played at the Cape Town International Convention Centre. The series was effectively a test event for the 2023 Netball World Cup, which would be hosted at the same venue later in the year.

With a team coached by Stacey Marinkovich and captained by Liz Watson, Australia won the series, defeating New Zealand by 56–50 in the final. New Zealand's Grace Nweke was named as the Player of the Series. The series was broadcast live on Fox Sports and Kayo Freebies in Australia, on Sky Sports and Sky Sports YouTube in the United Kingdom and Ireland, on Sky Sport in New Zealand and on SuperSport (South Africa).
