The 1982 Idaho State Bengals football team represented Idaho State University as member of the Big Sky Conference during the 1982 NCAA Division I-AA football season. The Bengals were led by third-year head coach Dave Kragthorpe and played their home games at the ASISU Minidome (now Holt Arena), an indoor venue on campus in Pocatello, Idaho. After winning the national title in 1981, the Bengals finished last in the Big Sky with a 1–6 record, and were 3–8 overall.

In early June 1983, assistant coach Jim Koetter was promoted to head coach after Kragthorpe left to become athletic director at his alma mater, Utah State University in Logan.[1][2][3][4]
