2023 Headley Weekes Tri-Series is the inaugural season of the Headley Weekes Tri-Series, a domestic first-class cricket competition organized by Cricket West Indies (CWI) and named in honour of West Indian cricketers George Headley and Everton Weekes. It took place from 19 April to 6 May 2023. It is a tri-series between Team Headley, Team Weekes and West Indies Academy, with the matches being played as first-class fixtures. Team Headley and Team Weekes were composed of players who were the leading performers in the 2022–23 West Indies Championship and those deemed to be on the fringe of the Test team; with CWI and the selectors aiming to provide further first-class cricketing opportunities for the benefit of these two sets of players. All three matches were played at Coolidge Cricket Ground, Antigua. The tournament was used as preparation ahead of West Indies A's tour to Bangladesh and Test series against India at home.

The West Indies Academy team were the winners of the tournament on net run rate after beating Team Headley and triumphing on first innings against Team Weekes.
