The 1963 World Archery Championships was the 22nd edition of the event. It was held in Helsinki, Finland on 24–27 July 1963 and was organised by World Archery Federation (FITA).[1]

For the third competition running, the United States achieved a clean sweep of the gold medals, although Victoria Cook's victory in the women's competition ahead of Nancy Vonderheide was considered a shock.[2]
