The 1982–83 Iowa Hawkeyes men's basketball team represented the University of Iowa in the 1982–83 NCAA Division I men's basketball season as members of the Big Ten Conference. The team was led by head coach Lute Olson, coaching in his ninth and final season at the school, and played their home games at the Iowa Field House and Carver–Hawkeye Arena (opened January 1983) in Iowa City, Iowa. Following the season, Olson left for Arizona, and was succeeded in April 1983 by George Raveling, who had led Washington State for eleven years.
