The 1981–82 Hamburger SV season was the 35th season in the club's history and the 19th consecutive season playing in the Bundesliga.
Season summary In 1981, Austrian coach Ernst Happel was appointed as former manager Branko Zebec's permanent replacement. Under Happel in the 1981–82 season, HSV managed to regain the Bundesliga title and reach the final of the UEFA Cup, where they lost 4–0 on aggregate to Sweden's IFK Göteborg.
Starting with a win against Borussia Dortmund on 30 January 1982, HSV went on a 36 match undefeated run in the Bundesliga which stretched into the following season. This remained a Bundesliga record until November 2013, when it was broken by Bayern Munich.
Hamburg also equalled the record of suffering no home losses in a 34-match Bundesliga season, a feat they repeated on their way to winning the league title again in the following season.
