Caribbean Airlines Flight 523 was a passenger flight which overran the runway at Cheddi Jagan International Airport, Georgetown, Guyana, on 30 July 2011. Seven of the 163 aboard suffered injuries. The aircraft involved, a Boeing 737-8BK, was operating Caribbean Airlines' scheduled international service from John F. Kennedy Airport, New York to Georgetown, with a stopover in Piarco International Airport, Port of Spain, Trinidad. The aircraft failed to stop in rainy weather, overrunning the runway at 01:32L, crashing through the perimeter fence. The aircraft stopped 100 meters past the end of runway 06 after it went over a road and broke into two sections.

There were 157 passengers and 6 crew on the aircraft. No deaths were reported directly following the incident. Two passengers suffered broken legs. The majority of the injured were treated at Diamond Diagnostic Hospital then sent onto Georgetown Public Hospital, where 35 passengers were treated for leg, back and neck injuries. The aircraft was damaged beyond repair in the accident.

Trinidad's Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar flew to Guyana to assess the situation, because the government of Trinidad and Tobago owns Caribbean Airlines. Guyana's emergency response team appeared at the accident scene two hours after the incident. Further officials from the Trinidad and Tobago Civil Aviation Authority (TTCAA) and U.S. National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) were invited to Guyana to aid in investigations. The Guyana Civil Aviation Authority will head the technical investigation, with assistance from the NTSB and the TTCAA.

In the aftermath of the accident, the flight number BW 522/523 was retired in keeping with international aviation practice. The new daily filght number is now BW 525/524.
