K-82 is an east–west state highway in the U.S. state of Kansas. The highway runs 21.076 miles (33.919 km) from K-15 west of Wakefield to U.S. Route 24 (US-24) west of Leonardville. K-82 is an L-shaped route in Clay and Riley counties. The route's east–west and north–south segments are separated by a concurrency with US-77. K-82's east–west segment serves Wakefield and Milford Lake, an impoundment of the Republican River.

The section from K-15 east to Wakefield, first appears as an unnumbered state highway on the 1932 state map. Then by April 1936, the section had been numbered K-82. Between 1961 and 1963, K-82 was extended east, from Wakefield to US-77. In 1965, US-77 was realigned and at this time, K-82 was extended northward to US-24.
