The 2023 Big East Conference women's soccer tournament was the postseason women's soccer tournament for the Big East Conference held from October 29 through November 5, 2023. The five-match tournament took place at the Maryland SoccerPlex in Boyds, Maryland for the semifinals and finals, while the first-round games were hosted by the higher seeded team. The six-team single-elimination tournament consisted of three rounds based on seeding from regular season conference play. The defending champions were the Georgetown Hoyas. They successfully defended their title by defeating Xavier in the final 2–0. This was the second straight year that Georgetown defeated Xavier in the Final. This is the seventh title in program history for Georgetown and head coach Dave Nolan. All seven of their titles have come in the last eight years and Georgetown has now won four straight titles. As tournament champions, Georgetown earned the Big East's automatic berth into the 2023 NCAA Division I women's soccer tournament.

Seeding

The top six teams in the regular season earned a spot in the tournament. A tiebreaker was required to determine the first and second seeds for the tournament after Xavier and Georgetown finished the regular season with identical 6–1–4 regular season conference records. The two teams tied 0–0 in their October 6 regular season match up so a second tiebreaker was used. The second tiebreaker was points earned versus teams qualified for the Big East tournament. Xavier was awarded the first seed while Georgetown was the second seed.
