The 1983 New Zealand National Basketball League season was the second running of the competition. The bottom two ranked teams from the league's inaugural season, Hamilton and Palmerston North, were demoted to the Conference Basketball League (CBL), while 1982 CBL champions, Wellington and Napier (both future powerhouse teams), were promoted to the NBL for the 1983 season. Auckland won the championship in 1983 to claim their second league title, while first-timers Wellington, led by guard Kenny McFadden, finished runners-up.
