The 1982 NCAA Division I Outdoor Track and Field Championships were contested May 31 − June 5 at the Clarence F. Robison Track and Field Complex at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah in order to determine the individual and team national champions of men's and, for the first time, women's collegiate Division I outdoor track and field events in the United States.
These were the 61st annual NCAA men's championships and the inaugural women's championships. Prior to this season, the women's championship was hosted by the AIAW (1973-1982) or the DGWS (1969-1972) and held at a separate location. This was the Cougars' third time hosting the event and the first since 1975.
UTEP and UCLA topped the men's and women's team standings, respectively; the Miners claimed their sixth overall, and fifth consecutive, team title while the Bruins' claimed their first.
