The 1981–82 Combined Counties Football League season was the fourth in the history of the Combined Counties Football League, a football competition in England, which operates at levels 9–10 of the English football league system.
With the arrival of several new clubs, the league was split into two divisions – East and West. The Eastern Division was won by Malden Town, after they won the league the previous season. The Western Division was won by Ash United. There was a championship playoff, which was won 3–0 by Ash United. There was no promotion or relegation, although some clubs left the league at the end of the season and it reverted to a single division.
The league switched to the system of three points for a win, instead of two.
