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

The competition took place between 13 April and 18 April. The opening ceremony took place on 12 April. For the first time the opening ceremony took place at a different venue to the actual competition. The opening ceremony took place at the National Indoor Arena and the competition took place at the neighbour National Exhibition Centre. 57 nations took part. This was the most countries that any gymnastics world championships had had at the time. This was the first time that the nations which formed the Soviet Union competed under their own state. This was the first time that the artistic world championships had been held in Great Britain. Another significant format was that this was the first world championships to have only 24 gymnasts in the all around with 2 gymnasts per nation instead of 3. This format happened again in a world championships at the 2003 world championships and has remained at this format ever since.
