This volume contains the proceedings of the AMS Western Sectional Meeting on Algebraic Structures in Knot Theory held on May 6-7, 2023, at California State University, Fresno, California. Modern knot theory includes the study of a diversity of different knotted objects-classical knots, surface-links, knotoids, spatial graphs, and more. Knot invariants are tools for probing the structure of these generalized knots. Many of the most effective knot invariants take the form of algebraic structures. In this volume we collect some recent work on algebraic structures in knot theory, including topics such as braid groups, skein algebras, Gram determinants, and categorifications such as Khovanov homology.
