The 1982–83 Biathlon World Cup was a multi-race tournament over a season of biathlon, organised by the UIPMB (Union Internationale de Pentathlon Moderne et Biathlon). The season started on 27 January 1983 in Ruhpolding, West Germany, and ended on 11 March 1983 in Holmenkollen, Norway. It was the sixth season of the Biathlon World Cup, and the first in which women were allowed to compete in their own European Cup. Though called the European Cup, participation was not restricted to Europeans.

The second World Cup round was originally going to be held in Oberhof, East Germany, but they had to cancel due to a lack of snow.[1] The races were therefore moved to Antholz-Anterselva, Italy.[2]
Originally the first round of the European Cup was to be held in Jáchymov, Czechoslovakia from 21 to 24 January 1983, but it was cancelled, thus the races in Lappeenranta, Finland were the only ones held.[3][4]

Notes
- 1. 1 In the individual races here some non-World Cup racers participated. Among those was Holger Wick, he was not a World Cup racer and so did not receive any World Cup points, and for World Cup purposes Vladimir Velichkov and Johann Passler finished 9th and 10th respectively in the 20 km individual and received the appropriate World Cup points.
