The 1982 German Grand Prix was a Formula One motor race held at the Hockenheimring on 8 August 1982. It was the twelfth race of the 1982 Formula One World Championship.
The race was overshadowed by an accident during qualifying in which Drivers' Championship leader Didier Pironi heavily crashed his Ferrari, sustaining severe leg injuries that ultimately ended his Formula One career.
