The 1983 Tulane Green Wave football team was an American football team that represented Tulane University during the 1983 NCAA Division I-A football season as an independent. In their first year under head coach Wally English, the team compiled a 2–9 record. The Green Wave forfeited their victories over Ole Miss and Florida State after the Supreme Court of the United States declined to hear a case on the eligibility of quarterback Jon English, which resulted in the NCAA ruling of his being ineligible due to failing to follow transfer rules being upheld.
