These are the Billboard Hot 100 number-one singles of 1982. The two longest running number-one singles of 1982 are "I Love Rock 'n' Roll" by Joan Jett and the Blackhearts and "Ebony and Ivory" by Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder, which each stayed at the top for seven weeks. "Physical" by Olivia Newton-John concluded a ten-week run that began in 1981. At the time, 1982 had the second lowest number of number-one songs since 1956, with only 15 songs reaching the #1 spot.

That year, 10 acts received their first number-one songs: The J. Geils Band, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, Vangelis, The Human League, Survivor, John Cougar, Men at Work, Joe Cocker, Jennifer Warnes, and Toni Basil. Only one act topped the Hot 100 more than once in 1982—Daryl Hall and John Oates, with two number ones, "I Can't Go for That (No Can Do)" and "Maneater".
