The 1982–83 All-Ireland Senior Club Hurling Championship was the 13th staging of the All-Ireland Senior Club Hurling Championship, the Gaelic Athletic Association's premier inter-county club hurling tournament.
James Stephens of Kilkenny were the defending champions, however, they failed to qualify after being beaten by Ballyhale Shamrocks in the final of the 1982 Kilkenny SHC. Slashers Gaels of Longford and Moycarkey–Borris of Tipperary made their championship debuts.
The All-Ireland final, a replay, was played at Casement Park in Belfast on 24 April 1983, between Loughgiel Shamrocks of Antrim and St Rynagh's of Offaly, in what was a first championship meeting between the teams. Loughgiel Shamrocks won the match by 2–12 to 1–12 to become the first team from Antrim to win the title.
Pádraig Horan was the championship's top scorer with 3–27.

Following St. Rynagh's' defeat of Kiltormer in the All-Ireland semi-final, it was revealed that a St. Rynagh's player, Declan Fogarty, remained on the field for seven minutes after being sent off. The match was then awarded to Kiltormer, however, St. Rynagh's countered that Kiltormer had fielded an unregistered player. Kiltormer subsequently withdrew their complaint.
