The 2023 Malaysia FA Cup final was an association football match played between Johor Darul Ta'zim and Kuala Lumpur City at Sultan Ibrahim Stadium, Iskandar Puteri, Johor on 22 July 2023. It will be the 34th FA Cup final. It was Kuala Lumpur City's first FA Cup final since 1999, and JDT's second successive FA Cup final.
Nazmi Nasaruddin, from Penang, was the referee for the match, which was played in front of 33,598 spectators. After a goalless first half, Hong Wan scored midway through the second half with a strike from distance which flew into the top-left corner of Kuala Lumpur City's goal past Kevin Ray Mendoza. They extended their lead in the 74th minute when midfielder Leandro Velázquez scored. The match ended 2–0 to Johor Darul Ta'zim who won the FA Cup for the third time.
As winners, Johor Darul Ta'zim will enter the group stage of the 2024–25 AFC Champions League Two. However, as Johor Darul Ta'zim had already qualified for the group stage of the 2024–25 AFC Champions League as the 2023 Malaysia Super League champions, the berth reserved was given to the second-placed team of the Super League.
