1982 NPSL First Division

The 1982 National Professional Soccer League was the fifth season of the multi-racial South African National Professional Soccer League (NPSL). The league was a merger of the previous NPSL, which due to the country's apartheid policies were for black teams only, and the National Football League, for white teams only.

The other professional league, the non-racial Federation Professional League, continued to function independently.

It was won by Durban City, managed by Clive Barker, earning City their first ever title.
