The 2023 Women's FA Cup final was the 53rd final of the Women's FA Cup, England's primary cup competition for women's football teams. The showpiece event was the 29th to be played directly under the auspices of The Football Association (FA) and was named the Vitality Women's FA Cup Final due to sponsorship reasons.

The final was contested between Manchester United and Chelsea, on 14 May 2023 at Wembley Stadium in London.[3][4][5]

Chelsea were the defending champions of the last two editions,[6] and won their third consecutive cup on a 68th-minute Sam Kerr goal assisted by a Pernille Harder cross.[7] The attendance of 77,390 broke the previous cup's record of 49,094, and also set a new world record for attendance to a match in a domestic women's competition, topping the 60,739 attendance to Atlético Madrid against Barcelona in the Primera División on 19 March 2019.[8]
