The 2023 Austrian Darts Open, known as the 2023 Interwetten Austrian Darts Open for sponsorship reasons, was a professional darts tournament that took place at Steiermarkhalle in Premstätten, Austria from 21 to 23 April 2023. It was the fifth of thirteen European Tour events on the 2023 PDC Pro Tour. It featured a field of 48 players and £175,000 in prize money, with £30,000 going to the winner.

Michael van Gerwen was the defending champion after defeating Danny Noppert 8–5 in the 2022 final.^[1] Van Gerwen was defeated 7–0 by Josh Rock in the semi-finals.

Jonny Clayton won his second European Tour title after defeating Josh Rock 8–6 in the final.^[2][3]

The prize money was increased for the first time in 4 years for all European Tours:^[4]

• Seeded players who lost in the second round of the event were not credited with prize money on any Order of Merit. A player who qualified as a qualifier, but later became a seed due to the withdrawal of one or more other players was credited with their prize money on all Orders of Merit regardless of how far they progressed in the event.^[5]

The top 16 entrants from the PDC Pro Tour Order of Merit on 7 March 2023 automatically qualified for the event and were seeded into the second round.^[6]

The remaining 32 places went on to qualifiers from six qualifying events – 24 from the Tour Card Holder Qualifier (held on 13 March^[7]), two from the associate member qualifier, the two highest ranked Austrians automatically qualified, alongside two from the Host Nation Qualifier, one from the Nordic & Baltic Associate Member Qualifier, and one from the East European Associate Member Qualifier.

Jim Williams withdrew from the tournament for personal reasons, and was replaced by Stephen Bunting, who was top of the reserve list.^[8]
