The 2023 FIBA U16 Asian Championship was the seventh edition of the FIBA Under-16 Asian Championship in the International Basketball Federation's FIBA Asia zone. The tournament was held at the Al-Gharafa Indoor Hall and the Al-Rayyan Indoor Hall in Doha, Qatar, from 17 to 24 September 2023.[1][2] It served as a qualifier for the 2024 FIBA Under-17 Basketball World Cup in Turkey, where the top four teams qualified.[3]

Australia successfully defended their U16 title against first-time semifinalists New Zealand in the thrilling final, 79–76, while China clinched the bronze medal after defeating the Philippines in the battle for third place, 87–59.[4]
