The 1982 NCAA women's gymnastics championships were contested at the first annual tournament hosted by the NCAA to determine the individual and team national champions of women's gymnastics among its member programs in the United States. ^[1]

Featuring ten teams, it was the first championship for women organized solely by the NCA. The AIAW had sponsored its own championships since 1969 and would also sponsor its own 1982 tournament, although this would be its last before the NCAA assumed full control of all women's collegiate gymnastics championships for 1983.

The competition took place from March 26–27 in Salt Lake City, Utah, hosted by the University of Utah at the Special Events Center.
