The 2023 Real Tennis British Open, branded as the Sir John Ritblat Foundation British Open for sponsorship reasons, was the 44th edition of the British Open since it became an annual event in 1979. The men's event was held at the Queen's Club in London between November 12–21, 2023 and was organised by the Tennis and Rackets Association, forming part of the qualifying series for the 2025 Real Tennis World Championship. The women's event was held at the Seacourt Tennis Club on Hayling Island between March 29 and April 2, 2023. The men's draw was the fourth and final grand slam event of the year.

The men's singles draw was won by incumbent World Champion Camden Riviere for the second consecutive year and his sixth overall.[2] Riviere also won the men's doubles draw alongside Tim Chisholm. The women's singles draw was won by incumbent World Champion Claire Fahey, her eleventh British Open singles victory. She also won the doubles draw with Tara Lumley, the latter's first British Open title.[3][4]

During the tournament, world number 5 Chris Chapman announced his retirement from international play.
