This book constitutes the proceedings of the 23rd International Conference on Formal Engineering Methods, ICFEM 2022, held in Madrid, Spain, in October 2022. The 16 full and 4 short papers presented together with 1 doctoral symposium paper in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 41 submissions. The papers cover for research in all areas related to formal engineering methods, such as verification and validation, software engineering, formal specification and modeling, software security, and software reliability.
