Miss Grand Japan 2023 (Japanese: 2023 ミス・グランド・ジャパン) was the ninth edition of the Miss Grand Japan pageant, held on July 16, 2023, at the Tokyo FM Hall [fr] of the Tokyo FM Center [ja] in Chiyoda, Tokyo.[1][2] Fourteen candidates who qualified for the national pageant via an audition performed in March 2023 competed for the title,[1][3] and a 26-year-old Tokyo-based Entrepreneur, Yayoi Machida, was elected the winner,[4][5] and obtained right to represent Japan at the international parent contest, Miss Grand International 2023,[6][7] to be held in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, on October 25.[8]

The contest was run concurrently with the second edition of the Mister Gay Japan pageant, Mister Gay Japan 2023.[1][9]
