The 2023 Mississippi lieutenant gubernatorial election took place on November 7, 2023, to elect the lieutenant governor of Mississippi. Incumbent Republican Lieutenant Governor Delbert Hosemann won re-election to a second term in office, significantly outperforming Republican Governor Tate Reeves in the concurrent governor election.
Hosemann drew a primary challenge from state senator Chris McDaniel, who is best known for nearly unseating U.S. Senator Thad Cochran in his 2014 primary. McDaniel accused Hosemann of being a "liberal" and criticized him for allowing Democrats to chair committees in the state senate, labeling him "Delbert 'the Democrat' Hosemann." In response, Hosemann defended his conservative credentials and called McDaniel "the least effective politician in the state with the largest ego." Marketing executive Ryan Grover was the only Democrat who filed to run.
