The 1982–83 Philadelphia Flyers season was the Flyers' 16th season in the National Hockey League (NHL). The Flyers lost in the Patrick Division Semifinals to the New York Rangers in three games.

Off-season

Mark Howe, son of hockey legend Gordie Howe and a star defenseman in his own right, was acquired via a trade with the Hartford Whalers prior to the season.

Regular season

Howe immediately became the team's best defenseman garnering 67 points and a +47 in 76 games. Midway through the season, Bob McCammon replaced Barber as captain with Bobby Clarke. Clarke led the team in points and Brian Propp and Sittler scored 40 goals each as the Flyers won a Patrick Division title with 106 points.

Records

Among the team records set during the 1982–83 season was the 35 seconds it took to score the fastest three goals during the season opener on October 7, which is tied for the team record. Later that month on October 28, the 31 seconds it took to score the fastest two goals from the start of a period is also tied for the team record. Goaltender Pelle Lindbergh set three consecutive wins records. From December 22 to February 10, Lindbergh won nine consecutive games, which is tied for the team record among all goalies and the record for rookie goaltenders. His eight consecutive road wins from December 22 to March 3 is also the team record. The team's eight consecutive road wins from December 22 to January 16 is the longest in team history. Brian Propp's twelve game-winning goals on the season is tied for the team record.
