Knaresborough Scarecrow Trail, 2023, was a temporary Halloween scarecrow exhibition, run by Knaresborough Business Collective in Knaresborough's town centre, in North Yorkshire, England. This exhibition of 18 scarecrows or effigies began on 28 October 2023, and was expected to last until 5 November. This is the second annual scarecrow event in the town; the first one was held in 2022. Trail maps for the 2023 exhibition were sold for £3, in aid of projects run by Knaresborough's Business Collective. In 2022, nearly £2,000 was raised in this way (see sources below).

The exhibits are non-commercial artworks, made to the inhabitants' own designs, and displayed on lamp posts and in shop windows. The purpose on this occasion was to draw attention to the town's shops and businesses in the pre-Christmas period.

Some scarecrows were erected on lamp posts on the night of 27 October. Some of those were vandalised, and had to be rebuilt and brought into shop windows for safety. Thus some exhibits are not numbered. Some shop window exhibits are half-hidden by reflections, which, in daytime, add to the Halloween mystery.

Note: Exhibit #012 was not available on 28 October 2023.
