Ukraine competed at the 2023 World Athletics Championships in Budapest, Hungary, from 19 to 27 August 2023. The country won two medals, one gold and one silver.

The best result for the Ukrainian men was Mykhaylo Kokhan's fifth place finish in the hammer throw. Andriy Protsenko, the 2022 World Championship bronze medalist in the men's high jump, finished 11th in the event this year.

Maryna Bekh-Romanchuk, the 2019 World Championship silver medalist in the women's long jump, did not mark in qualifications this time. In her other event, the triple jump, she won the silver medal with a mark of 15.00 m.

Ukraine had four athletes competing in the women's high jump event: Yuliya Chumachenko, Iryna Herashchenko, Yuliya Levchenko (2017 World Championship silver medalist), and Yaroslava Mahuchikh (2019 World Championship silver medalist, 2020 Summer Olympics bronze medalist, and 2022 World Championship silver medalist). Mahuchikh and Herashchenko both qualified for the final. In the final, Herashchenko had a mark of 1.94 m and finished tied for fifth.
