The 1983 Summer Universiade, also known as the XII Summer Universiade, took place in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada between July 1 and 12, 1983. Over 2,400 athletes from 73 countries participated.

The event was marred by tragedy when Soviet diver Sergei Chalibashvili died eight days after hitting his head on the platform while attempting a reverse 3 1/2 in competition.

In October 2005, Edmonton was also selected as a potential bid candidate to host the XXVI Summer Universiade in 2011 by the Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) [http://www.cisport.ca/e/international/story_detail.cfm?id=486] .
