The 1883 Melbourne Cup was a two-mile handicap horse race which took place on Tuesday, 6 November 1883.
This year was the 23rd running of the Melbourne Cup. The race was run by 5/1 favourite Martini-Henry who became the first New Zealand bred horse to win the race. He is also the first and to date only Melbourne Cup winner to have a hyphen in its name. Martini-Henry won this race at just his second start and had won the VRC Derby at his first start three days earlier. Martini-Henry would go on to the VRC St Leger in the autumn before breaking down in the Caulfield Cup and being retired to stud.
