The 2023 European Darts Grand Prix (known for sponsorship reasons as the 2023 Interwetten European Darts Grand Prix) was a professional darts tournament that took place at Glaspalast in Sindelfingen, Germany from 26 to 28 May 2023. It was the ninth of thirteen European Tour events on the 2023 PDC Pro Tour. It featured a field of 48 players and £175,000 in prize money, with £30,000 going to the winner.
In a rematch of the previous year's final, Cross defeated Humphries 8–6, winning his first European Tour title.[2] The result secured Cross' spot on the England team for the 2023 PDC World Cup of Darts, a spot that Humphries himself would have taken should he have won the final.[3]

Seeded players who lost in the second round of the event were not credited with prize money on any Order of Merit. A player who qualified as a qualifier, but later became a seed due to the withdrawal of one or more other players was credited with their prize money on all Orders of Merit regardless of how far they progressed in the event.[5]

The top 16 entrants from the PDC Pro Tour Order of Merit on 12 April automatically qualified for the event and were seeded in the second round.[6]
The remaining 32 places went to players from six qualifying events – 24 from the Tour Card Holder Qualifier (held on 17 April[7]), two from the Associate Member Qualifier, the two highest ranked Germans automatically qualified, alongside two from the Host Nation Qualifier, one from the Nordic & Baltic Associate Member Qualifier, and one from the East European Associate Member Qualifier.
