The 1983 [[Ice Hockey World Championships]] took place in [[West Germany]] from 16 April to 2 May. The games were played in [[Munich]], [[Dortmund]] and [[Düsseldorf]]. Eight teams took part, with each playing each other once. The four best teams then play each other once more with no results carrying over this time, and the other four teams played each other again to determine ranking and relegation. This was the 49th World Championships, and also the 60th [[IIHF European Championship|European Championships]]. The Soviet Union became world champions for the 19th time, tying Canada, and won their 22nd European title.

Promotion and relegation was effective for 1985 as the [[IIHF]] did not run a championship in Olympic years at this time.  Nations that did not participate in the [[1984 Winter Olympics|Sarejevo Olympics]] were invited to compete in the [[Thayer Tutt Trophy]].
