The '''1982 World Championship Tennis circuit''' was one of the two rival professional male [[tennis]] circuits of 1982. It was organized by [[World Championship Tennis]] (WCT).

On 30 April 1981 WCT announced its withdrawal from the [[Grand Prix tennis circuit|Grand Prix circuit]], into which it had been incorporated since the 1978 season, and the re-establishment of its own full calendar season for 1982. According to WCT owner [[Lamar Hunt]] the reasons for the withdrawal were the restrictions placed on them by the Men's Professional Council, the administrators of the Grand Prix circuit.<ref name=wot1982>{{cite book|title=World of Tennis 1982|year=1982|publisher=Queen Anne Press|location=London|isbn=0356085961|editor=John Barrett|pages=[https://archive.org/details/isbn_0356085961/page/167 167–177]|url-access=registration|url=https://archive.org/details/isbn_0356085961/page/167}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=Tennis World War Declared|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=WsxaAAAAIBAJ&sjid=slkDAAAAIBAJ&pg=4820%2C3379320|work=The Evening Independent|date=May 11, 1981}}</ref> The 1982 WCT circuit consisted of a Spring Tour, with nine tournaments, a Summer/Fall Tour, with five tournaments, and a Winter Tour with six tournaments.
