The 2023 World Athletics Cross Country Championships took place on 18 February 2023 in Bathurst, Australia. It was the event's 44th edition and the second time after Auckland in 1988 that the championships were held in Oceania.[1][2]

In March 2020 the course was revealed, to be held in the infield of the Mount Panorama Circuit.[3]

In December 2020, the event was postponed from 2021 to 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and Australian travel restrictions.[4] The championships were once again delayed to 2023 in September 2021, due to Australian travel restrictions.[5]

The junior races preceded the senior races, and the senior men's event concluded the program.[6]
