Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan elections (BSKE) in the Philippines were held on October 30, 2023. The elected barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan officials already and legally began their terms earlier at noon on January 1, 2023, and thus took office as soon as they were proclaimed to have won their respective positions.^[1] The barangay is the smallest administrative division in the country.

The election elected the following:

• 42,001 barangay captains (the chief executive of the barangay) in all of the 42,001 barangays
• 294,007 members of the Sangguniang Barangay (or seven of the eight members in each barangay) in all of the 42,001 barangays
• 42,001 Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) chairperson (the eighth member of the Sangguniang Barangay) in all of the 42,001 barangays
• 294,007 members of the Sangguniang Kabataan (or seven members in each barangay) in all of the 42,001 barangays

Elections for the reformed Sangguniang Kabataan (SK; youth councils) were held at the same time. The youth elected among themselves an SK chairperson, who automatically serves as an ex officio member of the Sangguniang Barangay (barangay councils), and seven SK councilors in each barangay. Members of the Sangguniang Barangay designated as Indigenous People's Mandatory Representative (IPMR) were not elected on this day.

The elections were originally scheduled to be held in May 2020. In December 2019, a law was passed postponing the election to December 2022. In October 2022, another law was passed, this time canceling the election for October 2023. However, the Supreme Court declared this law unconstitutional, and the election proceeded as scheduled, but the winners serve until 2025, with the following election being held that year and every three years thereafter.

Also done on this day was a plebiscite for the conversion of San Jose del Monte, Bulacan from a component city to a highly urbanized city; in other words, making it politically and fiscally independent from Bulacan. The measure lost, and San Jose del Monte remained as a component city.
