The 2023 Meath Intermediate Football Championship was the 97th edition of the Meath GAA's premier club Gaelic football tournament for Intermediate graded teams in County Meath, Ireland. The tournament consisted of 16 teams and started with a group stage before progressing to a knockout stage. The winner represented Meath in the Leinster Intermediate Club Football Championship.

Dunshaughlin were the 2022 Meath Intermediate Football Champions after they defeated Duleek/Bellewstown by 0-17 to 0-07 in the final. After having been relegated from the Meath Senior Football Championship in 2021, they returned to the senior ranks after a year in the Intermediate Championship.[1]

Navan O'Mahonys were relegated from the Senior Football Championship in 2022 after playing in the Senior Football Championship since 2004 and winning four Meath Senior Football Championships within that time.[2] Castletown were promoted to the I.F.C. after defeating Dunsany 1-12 to 0-11 in the Meath Junior Football Championship.[3] Clann na nGael, Kilmainham and St. Vincent's were relegated to the 2023 Meath Junior Football Championship.

The draws for the group stages of the championship took place on 24 April 2023[4] with the games commencing on 28 July 2023.

On 7 October 2023, Rathkenny claimed their third I.F.C. title and secured their return to the senior ranks for the first time since 2019 when defeating Duleek/Bellewstown 1-18 to 2-14 in the final.[5]
