The 1983 Meath Intermediate Football Championship is the 57th edition of the Meath GAA's premier club Gaelic football tournament for intermediate graded teams in County Meath, Ireland. The tournament consists of 20 teams. The championship starts with a group stage and then progresses to a knock out stage.
This was St. Michael's first year ever in this grade as they were promoted from the J.F.C. after claiming the 1982 Meath Junior Football Championship title. It was also just their 4th year in existence after the two clubs Kilbeg and Carlanstown amalgamated in 1980.
From this season onwards, the Division II (now known as Junior B) club Kilmessan and Intermediate club Dunsany amalgamated. The football section of the new club was called Dunsany and the hurling section was named Kilmessan.
For the 1983 season, Junior club St. Louis Blues and Intermediate club Rathkenny amalgamated under the name Grove Emmets, but were relegated at the end of the season.
On 23 October 1983, Moynalvey claimed their 1st Intermediate championship title when they defeated St. Mary's Donore 1-8 to 0-6 in the final at Pairc Tailteann. This was their first time ever to be awarded a place in the S.F.C.
Grove Emmets, Kilcloon and Kilbride were relegated to the J.F.C.

- The Round 5 game between Wolfe Tones and Oldcastle was originally fixed for Kells on the 9/7/1983, but was abandoned after 51 minutes when the scores were tied 1-5 each. This was due to Tones supporter Mattie O'Brien falling ill at the match. He was taken to Our Lady's Hospital Navan but later died. The game was refixed at a later date which the Tones won.
