The 1982 Wandsworth Council election took place on 6 May 1982 to elect members of Wandsworth London Borough Council in London, England. The whole council was up for election and the Conservative party stayed in overall control of the council.
Background Wandsworth had been under Conservative majority control since the borough's 1978 elections. According to the Greater London Council, ward boundaries changed in only one London borough between the 1978 and 1982 elections (Enfield), meaning the 1982 contest in Wandsworth was fought on the same ward boundaries as in 1978.
Election result Wandsworth's electorate at the election was 196,713, of whom 48.7% turned out to vote. The Conservative Party won 33 of the council's 61 seats, retaining its majority, while Labour won 25 seats. Across the borough, the Conservatives took 42.7% of the vote, Labour took 38.1%, and the SDP–Liberal Alliance took 18.8% .
