The 2022–23 Kenya Women's Quadrangular Series was a Women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) cricket tournament that took place in Nairobi in December 2022.[1] Originally announced as a tri-nation series involving Kenya, Uganda and Qatar,[2] the tournament became a quadrangular event with the addition of Tanzania.[3] The African sides were in action for the first time since the 2022 Kwibuka T20 Tournament that was played in June 2022.[4]

Uganda secured top spot in the round-robin with a game to spare.[5] Kenya defeated Tanzania by 2 wickets in the last game of the round-robin stage to set up a final against Uganda.[6][7] Uganda went on to defeat the hosts in the final by 6 wickets to win the tournament.[8] Tanzania defeated winless Qatar in the third-place play-off.[9] Uganda's Janet Mbabazi was named player of the tournament.[10]
