The 1981–82 Weber State Wildcats men's basketball team represented Weber State College during the 1981–82 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. Members of the Big Sky Conference, the Wildcats were led by seventh-year head coach Neil McCarthy and played their home games on campus at Dee Events Center in Ogden, Utah.

The Wildcats were 15–12 overall in the regular season and 6–8 in conference play; despite dropping their final league game at home, they won the tiebreaker for fourth to participate in the conference tournament, hosted again by sixth-ranked Idaho at the Kibbie Dome in Moscow.[1] In the opening semifinal, the Wildcats gave the host Vandals all they could handle at home, but fell short by two points.[2][3][4]

Senior guard Todd Harper was named to the all-conference team, and junior forward Royal Edwards was honorable mention.[5][6][7]
