The 1982 Pacific Coast Athletic Association men's basketball tournament (now known as the Big West Conference men's basketball tournament) was held March 4–6 at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California.

Top-seeded defending champions Fresno State defeated Cal State Fullerton in the title game, 69–57, to win the Bulldogs' second PCAA/Big West men's basketball tournament.

Fresno State, in turn, received a bid to the 1982 NCAA tournament, the program's second-ever appearance.
