SM UB-82 was a German Type UB III submarine or U-boat in the German Imperial Navy (German: Kaiserliche Marine) during World War I. She was commissioned into the German Imperial Navy on 8 September 1917 as SM UB-82.

UB-82 was sunk on 17 April 1918 by HMS Pilot Me and HMS Young Fred at 55°13′N 5°55′W / 55.217°N 5.917°W / 55.217; -5.917, 37 crew members died in the event.

She was built by AG Weser of Bremen and following just under a year of construction, launched at Bremen on 1 September 1917. UB-82 was commissioned later that same year under the command of Kptlt.
