The 2023 Hardline Quebec Tankard, the Quebec men's provincial curling championship, was held from January 10 to 15[1] at the Centre Sportif Mistouk d'Alma in Alma, Quebec. The event was held in conjunction with the 2023 Quebec Scotties Tournament of Hearts, Quebec's provincial women's curling championship.

The winning Félix Asselin rink represented Quebec at the 2023 Tim Hortons Brier,[2] in London, Ontario where they finished fourth in Pool B with a 5–3 record missing the Championship round by one game.

The event has not been held since 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Quebec. The 2022 event was cancelled at the last minute.[3]
