The 1982–83 season was the 11th season of Mersin İdmanyurdu football team in First League, the first level division in Turkey. The team was promoted to first division last season for the fourth time.
President Mehmet Fatih Deveci has transferred two famous players from Fenerbahçe (Paşa Hüseyin and İsa), and Bursaspor's former manager Gündüz Tekin Onay. General Captain was Remon Kumdereli. The club address was: "Yaşat İşhanı K: 3. Mersin. Tel: 15317".
