Final – best of 9 ENG Bobby George

The 1982 BDO World Darts Championship (known for sponsorship reasons as the The 1982 Embassy World Darts Championship) was the fifth British Darts Organisation world championship. For the fourth successive year, the tournament was staged at Jollees Cabaret Club in Stoke-on-Trent.

The event saw Scotland's first World Darts Champion, when Jocky Wilson defeated John Lowe in the final. Wilson was making his first final appearance while Lowe was contesting in his fourth final in five years. Wilson would win the match 5-3 and claim the £6,500 first prize.

The tournament's reigning champion Eric Bristow suffered a shock first round exit to Northern Ireland's Steve Brennan, who then defeated Dave Whitcombe to reach the quarter-finals, losing to Stefan Lord.
