Sir Henry Parkes Alexander Stuart The 1882 New South Wales colonial election was held between 30 November and 21 December 1882.

Suffrage was limited to adult male British subjects, resident in New South Wales.

The previous parliament of New South Wales was dissolved on 23 November 1882 by the Governor, Lord Augustus Loftus, on the advice of the Premier, Sir Henry Parkes.

There was no recognisable party structure at this election; instead the government was determined by a loose, shifting factional system.
