The Zimbabwe men's cricket team toured Namibia in October 2023 to play five Twenty20 International (T20I) matches. This was the first bilateral series between the two teams to be hosted in Namibia. The only previous T20I series between the two sides was played in Zimbabwe in 2022. The series formed part of both teams' preparations for the Africa World Cup Qualifier.
After losing the opening game, Sikandar Raza scored consecutive half centuries to help put Zimbabwe into a 2–1 series lead. Namibia won the fourth T20I by 7 wickets to level the series at 2–2, ensuring that the series would be decided by the final match. Namibia won the deciding fifth T20I to seal the series 3–2. Having been bowled out for 101 in the first innings, the hosts made a comeback with the ball as they restricted Zimbabwe to a total of 93.
