The 2023 NAIA cross country championships was the 68th annual NAIA men's and 44th annual NAIA women's to determine the team and individual national champions of NAIA men's and women's collegiate cross country running in the United States.

These championships were hosted by the Cascade Collegiate Conference in Vancouver, Washington.[1]

The race distance for the women's competition was increased to 6000 meters (3.73 miles). All previous championships had been contested over 5000 meters (3.11 miles).

The Milligan men won their second national title in the past three seasons and Jackson Wilson became the first individual champion for Rocky Mountain.[2][3][4][5]

College of Idaho won their first women's national championship and Addy Wiley became the third Huntington runner in the past five years to win the individual championship.[6][7] The championship was Wiley's last NAIA race before signing a professional contract.[8][9] It was also Wiley's only cross country race of the season.[10]
