The 1983 Arizona Wildcats baseball team represented the University of Arizona during the 1983 NCAA Division I baseball season. The Wildcats played their home games at Wildcat Field. The team was coached by Jerry Kindall in his 11th season at Arizona. The Wildcats finished 25–31 overall and placed 4th in the Pacific-10's Southern Division with an 14–15 record. Arizona missed the postseason for the 3rd straight season, tying at the time the longest postseason drought in program history, set on 3 occasions (1947–1949, 1967–1969, 1971–1973).
Previous season
The Wildcats finished the 1982 season with a record of 32–21–1 and 15–13–1 in conference play, finishing 3rd in the "Six-Pac" (Pac-10 Southern).
