The 1982 Orkney Islands Council election, the third election to Orkney Islands Council, was held on 4 May 1982 as part of the wider 1982 Scottish regional elections. 

The election saw the Independents take all save one of the seats on the council as the pro-autonomy Orkney Movement contested its first election, winning one seat.  Two other Orkney Movement members, Billy Dass and Chris Soames, were elected as independent candidates.
