Belgium was represented at the Eurovision Song Contest 1983 with the song "Rendez-vous", composed by Walter Verdin, with lyrics by Paul Peyskens, and performed by the band Pas de Deux. The Belgian participating broadcaster, Flemish Belgische Radio- en Televisieomroep (BRT), selected its entry through a national final.
The 1983 national final has gone down as the most controversial in Belgian Eurovision history due to the extreme hostility shown by the audience towards Pas de Deux's victory.
