The 1982 Trans America Athletic Conference Men's Basketball Tournament (now known as the Atlantic Sun Men's Basketball Tournament) was held March 3–5, 1982 at the Fant–Ewing Coliseum in Monroe, Louisiana.
Northeast Louisiana defeated Centenary in the championship game, 98–85, to win their second TAAC/Atlantic Sun men's basketball tournament. The Indians, in turn, received an automatic bid to the 1982 NCAA Tournament.
Only the top seven teams in the conference qualified for this year's tournament; the two teams with the worst records, Samford and Hardin–Simmons, were excluded.
