Laura Siegemund and Vera Zvonareva defeated Nicole Melichar-Martinez and Ellen Perez in the final, 6–4, 6–4 to win the doubles tennis title at the 2023 WTA Finals.[1] Siegemund became the first German WTA Finals doubles champion.

Veronika Kudermetova and Elise Mertens were the reigning champions,[2] but Kudermetova did not qualify this year. Mertens partnered Storm Hunter, but lost in the semifinals to Siegemund and Zvonareva.

Hunter attained the year-end WTA No. 1 doubles ranking after Coco Gauff and Jessica Pegula were eliminated in the round robin competition.[3] Gabriela Dabrowski, Kateřina Siniaková, Siegemund, and Shuko Aoyama were also in contention for the top ranking at the beginning of the tournament.[4]

Hunter, Perez, Erin Routliffe and Siegemund all made their debuts in the doubles competition at the WTA Finals.
