The 2022–2023 edition of the FIDE Grand Prix was a series of four chess tournaments exclusively for women which determined two players to play in the Women's Candidates Tournament 2023–2024. The winner of the Candidates Tournament would play the reigning world champion in the next Women's World Chess Championship.[1]
This is the sixth cycle of the tournament series. Each of 16 players had to participate in three out of four tournaments, and every tournament was a twelve-player round robin event. The tournaments were held between September 2022 and May 2023.[2]
Kateryna Lagno and Aleksandra Goryachkina were the top two finishers of the series, and qualified to play in the Women's Candidates Tournament 2024.

The tournament only had 11 players after Abdumalik withdrew in protest of the playing venue and her accommodations.[11] FIDE stated they were unable to adjust the pairings or add another player to try to reduce the number of players with 6 whites and 4 blacks or vice versa. Harika stated that many of the players were resistant to another player being added as there were already 3 Indian participants and a reserved player would likely have to also be Indian given the tournament was held in New Delhi and that Goryachkina threatened to withdraw if the pairings were adjusted. [12] Paehtz then withdrew as well in protest of the color imbalances. As a result, the tournament was still held over the original 11 rounds with each player now receiving two byes, and colors were still not adjusted, leading Zhu and Shuvalova to have 6 white games and Batsiashvili and Harika to have 6 black games.[13]
