The 1982 Dutch Grand Prix was a Formula One motor race held at Zandvoort on 3 July 1982. It was the ninth race of the 1982 Formula One World Championship.
The 72-lap race was won by Frenchman Didier Pironi, driving a Ferrari, with Brazilian Nelson Piquet second in a Brabham-BMW and Finn Keke Rosberg third in a Williams-Ford.
René Arnoux started from pole position, but he crashed out at the notorious Tarzan Corner when his Renault's throttle stuck open and he hit the tyre barriers. Arnoux walked away from the crash unharmed.
This was the first Grand Prix after the death of Riccardo Paletti three weeks earlier in Montreal. This was also the final win of Didier Pironi's Formula One career.
Ferrari entered Patrick Tambay to replace Gilles Villeneuve, who had been killed during qualifying a few race weekends prior, at the Belgian Grand Prix.
