The 2023 Rolex Shanghai Masters was a tennis tournament played on outdoor hard courts.

It took place at Qizhong Forest Sports City Arena in Shanghai, China from 4 to 15 October 2023.

[1] It was also the first year that the main singles draw was expanded to 96 players from 56.

Because the tournament was not held in 2022, the points dropping column reflects (a) points from tournaments held during the weeks of 3 October and 10 October 2022 (Astana, Tokyo, Florence, Gijón, and 2022 ATP Challenger Tour tournaments) or (b) the player's 19th best result (in brackets).

Only points counting towards the players' rankings as of 2 October 2023 are shown in the table.
