1993 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships
Venue	National Exhibition Centre
Location	Birmingham, Great Britain
Start date	13 April 1993
End date	18 April 1993

The 1993 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships were held in Birmingham, England. There was no team competition at this meet; gymnasts competed in the all-around and event finals only.

The opening ceremony took place on 12 April at the National Indoor Arena, and the competition took place from 13–18 April at the National Exhibition Centre. Fifty-seven nations participated, more than at any previous edition of the World Artistic Gymnastics Championships. The member states of the Soviet Union competed under their own flags for the first time.

This was the first world championships to allow only 24 gymnasts in the all-around final, with 2 gymnasts per nation instead of 3. This format returned at the 2003 World Championships and has remained ever since.
