Presidential elections were held in Portugal on 6 August 1923. The Congress of the Republic elected the president in Lisbon instead of the Portuguese people. However the new president Manuel Teixeira Gomes was elected In absentia, meaning that he wasn't present during the election.

There were a total of 5 candidates, 2 from the Democratic Party (Portugal) and 3 from the Republican Party (Portugal). Of these candidates, only the 2 Democratic Party (Portugal) members were left in which Manuel Teixeira Gomes won in a landslide victory against old president and party colleage Bernardino Machado.
