The 1982–83 UEFA Cup was the 12th edition of the UEFA Cup, the third-tier club football competition organised by UEFA. The final was played over two legs at the Heysel Stadium, Brussels, Belgium, and at the Estádio da Luz, Lisbon, Portugal, between Anderlecht of Belgium and Benfica of Portugal. Anderlecht won by an aggregate result of 2–1 to claim their first and only UEFA Cup title.

As of 2024, Anderlecht remains the only Belgian team to have won either the UEFA Cup or its sucessor tournament, the UEFA Europa League. It was also their third and final win in a European competition, following the 1975–76 and 1977–78 editions of the European Cup Winners' Cup.

A total of 64 teams from 31 UEFA member associations participated in the 1982–83 UEFA Cup, all entering from the first round over six knock-out rounds. The association ranking based on the UEFA country coefficients is used to determine the number of participating teams for each association:

• Associations 1–3 each have four teams qualify.
• Associations 4–8 each have three teams qualify.
• Associations 9–22 (except Wales) each have two teams qualify.
• Associations 23–33 each have one team qualify.

^

Wales: There was no national league in Wales before 1992 and the only competition organised by the Football Association of Wales was the Welsh Cup so Wales had just a single participant in European competitions, the winner (or best placed Welsh team as several English teams also competed) of the Welsh Cup which competed in the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup.

^

Albania: Until 1985, Albania frequently withdrew their allocated place in the UEFA Cup. This additional place went to the 9th placed association, Italy.
