The '''1983 Icelandic Cup''' was the 24th edition of the National Football Cup.

It took place between 23 May 1983 and 28 August 1983, with the final played at [[Laugardalsvöllur]] in [[Reykjavík]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.ksi.is/mot/stakt-mot/$TournamentDetails/Table/?motnumer=16998 |title=Bikarkeppni karla |publisher=ksi.is |access-date=9 June 2024}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.icelandfootball.net/national-cup-1983.html |title=National Cup 1983 |publisher=icelandfootball.net |access-date=9 June 2024}}</ref> The cup was important, as winners qualified for the [[UEFA Cup Winners' Cup]] (if a club won both the league and the cup, the defeated finalists would take their place in the Cup Winners' Cup).

The 10 clubs from the [[1980 Úrvalsdeild|1. Deild]] entered in the last 16, with clubs from lower tiers entering in the three preliminary rounds. Teams played one-legged matches. In case of a draw, the match was replayed at the opposition's ground.

[[Íþróttabandalag Akraness|ÍA]] retained their title by beating [[ÍBV men's football|ÍBV]] in the final. They won the first double since [[Valur (men's football)|Valur]] in 1976 and meant that the losing finalists qualified for Europe.
