The 1983 Federation Cup was the 21st edition of the most important competition between national teams in women's tennis.

The tournament was held at the Albisguetli Tennis Club in Zürich, Switzerland from 17 to 24 July.

Czechoslovakia won the title, defeating West Germany in the final, in what was the first final since 1972 that didn't involve United States or Australia.

All ties were played at the Tennisclub Engematt in Zürich on clay courts.

Winning nations advance to Main Draw, losing nations play in Consolation Rounds.
