John McEnroe defeated Chris Lewis in the final, 6–2, 6–2, 6–2 to win the gentlemen's singles tennis title at the 1983 Wimbledon Championships. It was his second Wimbledon singles title and fifth major singles title overall.
Jimmy Connors was the defending champion, but lost in the fourth round to Kevin Curren. The loss also meant that Connors hadn’t reached the quarterfinals for the first time since the 1973 French Open, a span of 27-consecutive grand slam tournaments reaching at least the quarterfinals.
