The 1983 NCAA Division I Cross Country Championships were the 45th annual NCAA Men's Division I Cross Country Championship and the 3rd annual NCAA Women's Division I Cross Country Championship to determine the team and individual national champions of NCAA Division I men's and women's collegiate cross country running in the United States. In all, four different titles were contested: men's and women's individual and team championships.

Held on November 21, 1983, the combined meet was hosted by Lehigh University at the Saucon Valley Fields in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. The distance for the men's race was 10 kilometers (6.21 miles) while the distance for the women's race was 5 kilometers (3.11 miles).

The men's team national championship was won by UTEP, but the Miners' performance was later vacated by the NCAA. The individual championship was won by Zakarie Barie, also from UTEP, with a time of 29:20.0.[1]

The women's team national championship was won by Oregon, their first. The individual championship was won by Betty Jo Springs, from NC State, with a time of 16:30.7.[2] This was Springs' second championship after winning the inaugural race in 1981.
