The men's 110 metres hurdles at the 2023 World Athletics Championships was held at the National Athletics Centre in Budapest on 20 and 21 August 2023.

Summary

The field got out evenly but the story remained the same as the 2020 Olympics, the 2022 Indoor Championships and the 2019 and 2022 World Championships, coming off the first hurdle Grant Holloway had the lead. Over the next four hurdles, he opened a full metre on Daniel Roberts who had separated into a clear second. As Freddie Crittenden was edging into a clear third place, an American sweep looked to be developing. At the Olympics, Hansle Parchment closed fast as Holloway slowed over the final five hurdles. Here, Parchment was next to last over the fifth hurdle but he was just getting up his head of steam. By the ninth hurdle, Parchment was past Crittenden, then he pulled even with Roberts over the tenth. Holloway didn't slow down enough for a clear victory. Roberts and Parchment battled to the line with Parchment getting the knod for silver. After the race, Holloway walked around the stadium showing 3 fingers to indicate this was three times in a row.
