Scene 23 was a pop ensemble from the United States, created from the victors of the reality television program Popstars 2, which was broadcast on The WB Television Network during the autumn of 2001.

Initially, the lineup consisted of six individuals: Josh Henderson (providing background vocals), Donavan Green (lead vocalist), Moises Juarez (background vocals), Monika Christian (both lead and background vocals), Laurie Gidosh (lead and background vocals, later known as Lauriana Mae), and Dorothy Szamborska (background vocals). During the course of the show, producers David Stanley and Scott Stone decided to remove Moises Juarez from the group.

For the soundtrack album titled Popstars 2: Introducing Scene 23, the group contributed seven songs, which also incorporated covers and snippets related to auditions. The primary single, "I Really Don’t Think So," was accompanied by a music video but saw commercial release only through Dutch band K-otic on their debut album Bulletproof. In a 2023 podcast appearance on Frosted Tips with Lance Bass, Josh Henderson disclosed that Scene 23 dissolved following the shutdown of London-Sire—the same circumstance that led to the disbanding of Eden’s Crush from Popstars’ initial season. Had they persisted, Johnny Wright would have taken over as their manager, and they were scheduled to serve as an opening act for *NSYNC’s concluding tour.
