The 2023 IIHF World Championship Division IV will be an international ice hockey tournament run by the International Ice Hockey Federation.

The tournament will be held in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia from 23 to 26 March 2023 after the original hosts, Kuwait City, Kuwait, withdrew from hosting the tournament.[1]

Four nations will participate in the tournament, including Mongolia, who will return to the World Championships after a ten-year absence.[2] Indonesia and the Philippines will make their debut in the World Championships. Originally, the Philippines had made its debut, but withdrew before last year's tournament began due to players, coaches and staffs being affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.[3]
