1923 (MCMXXIII) was a common year starting on Monday in the Gregorian calendar. Beginning in February of this year, the Julian calendar was relegated to church use only. This happened after Greece adopted the Gregorian calendar.

1923 was the first year to be in the public domain under the Copyright Extension Act. It entered the public domain in 2019.
