83 Aquarii (abbreviated 83 Aqr) is a binary star system in the equatorial constellation of Aquarius. The combined apparent visual magnitude of the pair is 5.43, which is faintly visible to the naked eye. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 15.57 milliarcseconds, it is located at a distance of around {{Convert|209|ly|pc|abbr=off|lk=on}} from Earth.

Both stars are F-type main sequence stars. The first component has an apparent magnitude of 6.20; the second is magnitude 6.34. They are orbiting each other with a period of 21.84 years with an eccentricity of 0.388.

On 11 April 2024, it had a close conjunction (geocentric separation <1') with Saturn.{{cite book |date=2002 |first=Jan |last=Meeus |chapter=Mutual occultations of planets |pages=174–185 |title=More Mathematical Astronomy Morsels |isbn=0943396743 |url=https://falakmu.id/khgt/dokumen/More%20mathematical%20astronomy%20morsels%20(Jean%20Meeus)%20(Z-Library).pdf}}{{rp|167}}
