The 2023 Erie County, New York Executive election took place on November 7, 2023, to select the County Executive of Erie County, New York. Incumbent Democratic County Executive Mark Poloncarz ran for re-election to a fourth term, which he said would be his last. He was challenged by businesswoman Chrissy Casilio, the Republican nominee.

During the campaign, Poloncarz weathered controversy when a woman he was dating alleged that he physically restrained her prior to the end of their relationship, though charges were ultimately not filed, and for awarding a contract to another woman he was dating. Casilio herself faced scandal when she was caught on Twitter spreading false conspiracy theories surrounding the 2020 U.S. Presidential Election and Damar Hamlin's on-field cardiac arrest.

Poloncarz easily defeated Casilio to win his fourth term in a landslide, receiving 59 percent of the vote.
