The 1983 Virginia Slims World Championship Series was the 13th season since the foundation of the Women's Tennis Association. It commenced on January 3, 1983, and concluded on March 4, 1984, after 64 events. The Virginia Slims World Championship Series was the elite tour for professional women's tennis organised by the Women's Tennis Association (WTA). It was held in place of the WTA Tour from 1983 until 1987 and featured tournaments that had previously been part of the Toyota Series and the Avon Series. The circuit consisted of 48 tournaments in nine countries, including the four Grand Slam tournaments, and culminated in the season-ending Virginia Slims Championships played in February 1984. ITF tournaments were not part of the tour, although they awarded points for the WTA World Ranking. Martina Navratilova was the most successful player in both singles and doubles across the season. She won three of the four Grand Slam tournaments in singles, with Chris Evert-Lloyd winning the French Open. In doubles, Navratilova again won all the Grand Slams apart from the French Open, which was collected by Rosalyn Fairbank and Candy Reynolds; Pam Shriver was her partner in all the Grand Slam events. Navratilova won a total of 29 titles in the course of the year and only suffered one defeat in singles, against Kathy Horvath at the French Open. This led to her beginning and ending the year as the WTA number 1. Shriver was her closest challenger with 16 titles, including 14 in doubles events. Players from the United States won 74 of the 125 titles awarded in singles, doubles and mixed doubles; players from Brazil, Canada, Japan, New Zealand, Netherlands and Switzerland each won a solitary title.

Il Virginia Slims World Championship Series 1983 è iniziato il 3 gennaio con il Virginia Slims of Washington e si è concluso il 12 dicembre con la finale dell'Australian Open. Nel 1983 indipendentemente dai tornei del Grande Slam organizzati dall'ITF, la stagione dei tornei della WTA vide per la prima volta la riunificazione di quelle che fino all'anno prima erano state le Avon Series (1979-1982), succedute alle Virginia Slims Series (1976-1978), e le Colgate Series (1976-1980), succedute alle Toyota Series (1981-1982). La Virginia Slims prese le redini del tour mondiale del tennis femminile per la prima volta organizzando una trentina di tornei con un montepremi record di dieci milioni di dollari (it)
