The 1982 Welwyn Hatfield District Council election took place on 6 May 1982 to elect members of Welwyn Hatfield District Council in England.

The newly formed SDP–Liberal Alliance saw a huge improvement in their share of their vote compared to their predecessor, scoring over 20% of the vote; the highest percentage for a third party since the forming of the Welwyn Hatfield's council.

They were ultimately unsuccessful in gaining any seats however.

Indeed, there was no net change in seats for any party; a first for the district.
