The 1882 South Australian Football Association season was the 6th season of the top-level Australian rules football competition in South Australia. The season began on Saturday 6 May.

The 1882 SAFA season was the first time that the league used behinds in determining game results.

A junior team the Royal Park Football Club entered the competition as a replacement for Adelaide/Kensington Club which withdrew the previous season after 4 games. However, Royal Park folded after five matches, their remaining five scheduled matches were declared forfeits, and collected the wooden spoon.

Norwood went on to record its 5th consecutive premiership.
