2023 BNP Paribas Open – Men's singles

Carlos Alcaraz defeated Daniil Medvedev in the final, 6–3, 6–2 to win the men's singles tennis title at the 2023 Indian Wells Masters. He did not drop a set en route to his third Masters 1000 title and eighth ATP Tour title overall. With the win, he regained the world No. 1 singles ranking from Novak Djokovic, who was unable to enter the United States due to being unvaccinated for COVID-19. Alcaraz also ended the 19-match winning streak of Medvedev, who was the first Russian to contest the final since Andrei Chesnokov in 1992.

Taylor Fritz was the defending champion, but lost in the quarterfinals to Jannik Sinner.

Rafael Nadal withdrew from the tournament due to a left leg injury. As a result, he dropped out of the top 10 in the ATP rankings for the first time since his top 10 debut in April 2005, ending a record streak of 912 weeks.
