The 1983 Rose Bowl was a college football bowl game, played on January 1, 1983. It was the 69th Rose Bowl Game. The UCLA Bruins defeated the Michigan Wolverines by a score of 24–14,[2][3][4] in a bowl rematch of a regular season game, also won by UCLA. Tom Ramsey, UCLA quarterback and Don Rogers, UCLA defensive back, were named the Players Of The Game.[5] This was the first season that the UCLA Bruins played in the Rose Bowl stadium as their home stadium, where they were undefeated.

This was the second consecutive Rose Bowl win for the Pac-10, with eight wins in the last nine.
