State Highway 23 or SH 23 is a state highway in the U.S. state of Texas maintained by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). The highway, located in eastern Lipscomb County in the Texas Panhandle, begins at US 83 northwest of Canadian and extends northward through the town of Booker to the Oklahoma state line. The highway's route designation is numerically continuous with subsequent routes in Oklahoma and Kansas and, together with Oklahoma State Highway 23 and Kansas Highway 23, forms part of a single route from US 83 in Texas to US-83 near Selden, Kansas.
The route number was one of the original highways proposed by the state highway department in 1917, and was used over various shifting alignments in central and north central Texas in the 1920s and 1930s. The current highway was originally built as part of Texas' system of Farm to Market Roads in 1949. The state began signing the route as SH 23 in 1959, although the highway officially retained its Farm to Market designation until 1990. SH 23 intersects one other state highway, SH 15, at Booker.
