The M23 is a motorway in the United Kingdom, running from the south of Hooley in Surrey, where it splits from the A23, to Pease Pottage, south of Crawley in West Sussex where it rejoins the A23. The northern end of the motorway starts on what is effectively a 2-mile (3.2 km) spur north of junction 7 of the M25 motorway (junction 8 on the M23).

The M23 directly connects onto the A264 into Crawley and the sprawling High Weald National Park. The M23 is a relatively new road which was originally planned to be more expansive, stretching through South London to reduce congestion.
