The 1982 USA Indoor Track and Field Championships were held at Madison Square Garden in New York City, New York. Organized by The Athletics Congress (TAC), the competition took place on February 26 and served as the national championships in indoor track and field for the United States.
Many big stars either did not show or underperformed, but little-known Joan Hansen, nicknamed "Joanie-come-lately", won the women's 2-mile in a world indoor record time.
