The women's 100 meter hurdles at the 1983 World Athletics Championships took place on August 12 and 13, 1983 in Helsinki , Finland .
35 athletes from 23 countries took part in the competition. The runners from the GDR achieved a double victory. The gold medal was won by Bettine Jahn after 12.35 seconds, silver went to Kerstin Knabe in the third place in the European Championship in 1982 with 12.42 seconds, and the bronze medal went to Bulgarian Ginka Sagortschewa with 12.62 seconds. At 2.4 m / s, the tailwind in the final was too strong for record recognition or the inclusion of times in the leaderboard.
