The 1983 Philadelphia Eagles season was their 51st in the National Football League (NFL). The team followed up their record of 3–6 during the strike-shortened 1982 season with another losing campaign. The team failed to qualify for the playoffs for the second straight season. The Eagles started off winning four of their first six games, before losing seven consecutive matches. The Eagles finished in fourth place with a 5-11 record. Despite the disappointing season, wide receiver Mike Quick established himself as a new star by collecting 1,409 receiving yards.
The October 16 and November 6 games against the Dallas Cowboys were played with locations switched from the original schedule, because of October 16 conflict with game 5 of the baseball World Series.
