The 1983 Delaware Fightin' Blue Hens football team represented the University of Delaware in the 1983 NCAA Division I-AA football season, as an Independent. They were led by Tubby Raymond, who was in his 18th season as head coach of the Fightin' Blue Hens. The 1983 season was B.J. Webster's first and only season as the Blue Hens starting Quarterback.
