Archery at the 1982 Commonwealth Games was the debut appearance of Archery at the Commonwealth Games. The events were held in Brisbane, Australia, from 30 September to 9 October 1982.
The archery events were held at the Murarrie Recreation Reserve. There were two events, one for men and one for women, both using recurve bows.
England and New Zealand topped the archery medal table by virtue of winning one gold each. The final standings were decided by an aggregate score after four days of shooting. The women's champion, New Zealand's Neroli Fairhall, became the first paraplegic athlete to win a Commonwealth gold medal.
These games marked the debut of archery as a Commonwealth sport; however, it would not appear again until the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi.
