The Ontario general election, 1923 was the 16th general election held in the Province of Ontario, Canada. It was held on June 25, 1923, to elect the 111 Members of the 16th Legislative Assembly of Ontario ("MLAs").

The Ontario Conservative Party, led by George Howard Ferguson, was returned to power with a majority in the Legislature as voters rejected the United Farmers of Ontario-Labour coalition government of Ernest C. Drury.

The Ontario Liberal Party, led by Wellington Hay, lost close to half its caucus in the Conservative landslide.

The election saw a voter turnout of just 54.7 per cent, the lowest voter turnout in Ontario history until the 2007 election.
