The 1983 Arab Athletics Championships was the fourth edition of the international athletics competition between Arab countries. It took place in Amman, Jordan from 19–22 August. A total of 39 athletics events were contested, 23 for men and 16 for women. The men's 20 kilometres walk was dropped from the programme, having been initiated at the 1981 edition. Although the majority of the races were measured using fully automatic time systems, four track finals were only timed to the tenth of a second due to technical issues.Pan Arab Championships.
