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). Despite being above .500 both overall and in conference play, the Wildcats did not receive a bid to the postseason. This marked the 1st time that the program missed back-to-back postseasons since 1972–1973.
