80° Below '82 is an album by the improvisational collective Air featuring Henry Threadgill, Steve McCall and Fred Hopkins, recorded in 1982 for the Antilles label.

Reception

The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated: "This blues-oriented set is more accessible than many of Air's previous recordings without watering down the explorative nature of this always-interesting group". The Rolling Stone Jazz Record Guide said it "captures the telepathic agreement of Air's members in full glory". |editor-last=Swenson |editor-first=J. | author-link =
