The 1982 NCAA Division I field hockey tournament was the second annual single-elimination tournament hosted by the National Collegiate Athletic Association to determine the national champion of women's collegiate field hockey among its Division I members in the United States, the culmination of the 1982 NCAA Division I field hockey season.

This was the first NCAA Division I tournament held after the migration of all remaining AIAW field hockey programs to the NCAA. With the subsequent obsolescence of the AIAW tournament after the 1981 season, the NCAA tournament expanded its field for the 1982 edition from six to twelve.

Top-seeded Old Dominion defeated defending national champion Connecticut in the final, 3–2, to claim the Lady Monarchs' first national title.[1]
