The 1982 Arizona House of Representatives elections were held on November 2, 1982. Voters elected all 60 members of the Arizona House of Representatives in multi-member districts to serve a two-year term. The elections coincided with the elections for other offices, including Governor, U.S. Senate, U.S. House, and State Senate. Primary elections were held on September 7, 1982.[3]

Prior to the elections, the Republicans held a majority of 43 seats over the Democrats' 17 seats.

Following the elections, Republicans maintained control of the chamber, though their majority was reduced to 39 Republicans to 21 Democrats, a net gain of four seats for Democrats.[4]

The newly elected members served in the 36th Arizona State Legislature, during which Republican Frank Kelley was re-elected as Speaker of the Arizona House.[a]
