The 2023 World Junior Figure Skating Championships will be held in Calgary, Canada, from February 27–March 5, 2023. Medals will be awarded in the disciplines of men's singles, women's singles, pairs, and ice dance. The competition will determine the entry quotas for each federation at the 2024 World Junior Championships.
