The 2023 All Japan University Football Championship (第72回 全日本大学サッカー選手権大会; All Japan 72nd University Football Championship) was the 72nd edition of the referred annually contested cup for universities across Japan. As usual, the tournament was contested by 24 universities on a knockout-stage format.[1] Meiji clinched their fourth championship title after winning by 2–0 past Kyoto Sangyo, four years after their third title on 2019.[2]

In an unusual movement, champions Meiji University were invited to the 2024 Emperor's Cup by the JFA without having to play their prefectural qualifications to fill the vacant spot left by J1 side Urawa Red Diamonds following the riot caused by the fans after 0–3 loss against Nagoya Grampus in the 4th round of the 2023 tournament.[3]
