The 1982–83 All-Ireland Senior Club Football Championship was the 13th staging of the All-Ireland Senior Club Football Championship since its establishment by the Gaelic Athletic Association in 1970-71.

Nemo Rangers were the defending champions, however, they failed to qualify after being beaten by Duhallow in the 1982 Cork County Championship.[1]

On 20 March 1983, Portlaoise won the championship following a 0–12 to 2–00 defeat of Clann na nGael in the All-Ireland final at MacDonagh Park.[2] It remains their only championship title.
