The 2023 Women's Masters Basel was held from September 15 to 17 at the Curlingzentrum Region Basel in Arlesheim, Switzerland as part of the World Curling Tour. The event was held in a round robin format with a purse of 32,000 CHF. It was the first women's World Curling Tour event of the 2023–24 curling season.
Silvana Tirinzoni and her revised lineup of Alina Pätz, Selina Witschonke and Carole Howald dominated the event, winning all seven of their games en route to claiming the title. In the final, the four-time defending world champions scored three in the first end and six in the fifth to down Sweden's Anna Hasselborg 10–2. To reach the final, Tirinzoni went 4–0 through the round robin and then beat Marianne Rørvik and Madeleine Dupont in the quarterfinals and semifinals respectively. The Hasselborg rink also won all of their games in the round robin before winning 7–1 over Isabella Wranå in the quarters and 5–4 against Stefania Constantini in the semis. Michèle Jäggi and Anna Kubešková also made the playoffs but lost in the quarterfinals. Newly retired Daniela Jentsch of Germany spared for Team Jäggi at third.
