Conference tournament winner

The 1982–83 Boise State Broncos men's basketball team represented Boise State University during the 1982–83 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Broncos were led by third-year head coach Dave Leach and played their home games on campus at the new BSU Pavilion in Boise, Idaho.

They finished the regular season at 10–17 overall, with a 5–9 record in the Big Sky Conference, sixth in the standings. The conference tournament included only the top four teams for the eighth and final time; the Broncos did not qualify for a fifth consecutive year.

With one game remaining, at rival Idaho, athletic director Gene Bleymaier announced in late February that Leach's one-year contract at $33,000 would not be renewed. Bobby Dye of Cal State Bakersfield was hired as head coach in late March at $41,000.

No Broncos were on the all-conference team; junior swingman Vince Hinchen was named to the second team.
