The 1981–82 Wright State Raiders men's basketball team represented Wright State University in the 1981–82 NCAA NCAA Division II men's basketball season led by head coach Ralph Underhill.

Season summary Wright State began the 1981-82 season having graduated eight seniors the year before, including all five starters. However, they also began the season ranked #3 in the U.S. Basketball Writers Association preseason poll, so no opponent would overlook theses Raiders. Their dominate 22-7 final record could only be thought of as disappointing because of yet another 3rd place finish in the Great Lakes Regional of the NCAA Div-II tournament.
