The 1982 NCAA Division I baseball tournament was played at the end of the 1982 NCAA Division I baseball season to determine the national champion of college baseball. The tournament concluded with eight teams competing in the College World Series, a double-elimination tournament in its thirty sixth year. Eight regional competitions were held to determine the participants in the final event. Six regions held a four team, double-elimination tournament while two regions included six teams, resulting in 36 teams participating in the tournament at the conclusion of their regular season, and in some cases, after a conference tournament.[1] The thirty-sixth tournament's champion was Miami (FL), coached by Ron Fraser. The Most Outstanding Player was Dan Smith of Miami (FL).

For the first time, the NCAA selected five number-one seeds and placed each in a different regional.[2]
