The 2023 Telangana Legislative Assembly election was held on 30 November 2023 to elect all 119 members of Telangana Legislative Assembly for its third term. The votes were counted and the results were declared on 3 December 2023.

The Indian National Congress (INC) along with its ally Communist Party of India (CPI) won a majority with 65 seats against the incumbent Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS)'s 39 seats. With a victory for the first time after the formation of Telangana, it strengthened its position in southern India following its recent success in Karnataka. The BRS and then-CM K. Chandrashekar Rao suffered a major loss in the elections by losing in one of his contended seats after being in power for two terms.
