The New Zealand men's cricket team toured the United Arab Emirates in August 2023 to play three Twenty20 International (T20I) matches. Emirates Cricket Board (ECB) announced the fixtures for the tour in March 2023. The only previous time that New Zealand played against UAE was in a One Day International (ODI) match at the 1996 World Cup.

New Zealand won the first T20I by 19 runs, after which United Arab Emirates beat New Zealand in the second T20I. It was United Arab Emirates' first international win over New Zealand and also New Zealand's first defeat against an associate team. New Zealand won the last match of the series to take the series 2–1.

Squads

Blair Tickner and Ben Lister were added to New Zealand's squad after the withdrawal of Henry Shipley and Lockie Ferguson due to injury and other commitments, respectively. On 14 August 2023, Blair Tickner opted to skip the series due to family reasons and was replaced by Jacob Duffy.
