The 1982–83 Edmonton Oilers season was the Oilers' fourth season in the National Hockey League (NHL) and their second-straight season of finishing with over 100 points, and they won the Smythe Division for the second straight season. The Oilers broke the NHL record for goals in a season with 424, breaking the record they set in the previous season.

Regular season

Wayne Gretzky had another amazing season, scoring 71 goals, while earning an NHL record 125 assists to finish the year with 196 points, winning his fourth Hart Trophy and his third Art Ross Trophy. The Oilers tied the Boston Bruins' 1971 record of four 100—point scorers, as Gretzky, Mark Messier, Glenn Anderson and Jari Kurri each passed the 100-point plateau during the season.

Andy Moog would step it up as the Oilers #1 goaltender, winning a team record 33 games, while posting a team best 3.53 GAA.
