Municipal elections were held in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, on January 1, 1923. Charles A. Maguire was reelected to his second term as mayor.

Toronto mayor

Charles A. Maguire had been acclaimed as mayor the election previously. The 1923 campaign focused on Sir Adam Beck's proposal of an electrical radial railway along the length of the Toronto water front and further into the neighbouring cities. Maguire was in favour of the controversial plan. His main opponent was R.J. Fleming who opposed the scheme. Fleming had previously served as mayor of Toronto several decades previously. The radial plan was voted down in a referendum that accompanied the vote, but Maguire was reelected mayor.

Board of Control

One new member was elected to the Board of Control: Alderman Joseph Singer.
