These are the Official Charts Company's UK Country Albums Chart number ones of 2023. The chart week runs from Friday to Thursday with the chart-date given as the following Thursday.

The chart contains 20 positions.

In the iteration of the chart dated 6 January, Nathan Carter's The Morning After spent its second week at number one after reaching the top spot in the final week of 2022. Taylor Swift's re-recording of her 2008 album Fearless hit number one for the 28th non-consecutive week, and would spend a total of ten weeks atop the chart throughout 2023. Luke Combs spent the most weeks at number one during the year, with his album Growin' Up and its successor Gettin' Old spanning a cumulative thirteen weeks at the chart peak. Welsh/American group Far from Saints spent a total of six weeks at number one with their self-titled debut album, while Margo Price and Chris Stapleton's albums Strays and Higher each held the top spot for three consecutive weeks in January/February and November/December respectively. Notably, Shania Twain's seminal Come On Over album re-entered the chart as she began the UK leg of her Queen of Me Tour, and reached number one for the 117th week on the chart dated 1 September, and remaining there for a record-extending 118th week before being displaced by Ashley McBryde's fourth album The Devil I Know.
