The 2023 Memorial Van Damme was the 47th edition of the annual track and field meeting in Brussels, Belgium. Held on 8 September at the King Baudouin Stadium, it was the 13th and penultimate leg of the 2023 Diamond League – the highest level international track and field circuit. The shot put event was held on 8 September, the day before the rest of the meeting.^[1]

At the meeting, Jakob Ingebrigtsen broke Hicham El Guerrouj's 2000 metres world record, with a time of 4:43.13. He passed through the 1600 metres in 3:48 before running his last lap in 54.9 seconds.^[2] In the women's 1500 metres, Laura Muir won while Addison Wiley became the only non-NCAA runner to break an American collegiate record, running 3:59.17.^[3]

Athletes competing in the Diamond League disciplines earned extra compensation and points which went towards qualifying for the 2023 Diamond League finals. First place earned 8 points, with each step down in place earning one less point than the previous, until no points are awarded in 9th place or lower.^[4]
