The '''1982 Swiss Grand Prix''' was a [[Formula One]] [[motor race]] held at [[Dijon-Prenois]] in France on 29 August 1982.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.racingsportscars.com/covers/_Dijon-1982-08-29e.jpg|title=1982 Swiss Grand Prix Entry list}}</ref> The race, contested over 80 laps, was the fourteenth race of the [[1982 Formula One season]] and was won by [[Keke Rosberg]], driving a [[Williams FW08|Williams]]-[[Ford Motor Company|Ford]]. This was Rosberg's first win in a Formula One World Championship Grand Prix, though he had previously won a non-championship Formula One race, the [[1978 BRDC International Trophy]]. [[Alain Prost]] finished second in a [[Renault RE30|Renault]], having started from [[pole position]], while [[Niki Lauda]] was third in a [[McLaren MP4/1|McLaren]]-[[Ford Motor Company|Ford]]. This was the only win of the season for eventual World Champion Rosberg. The chequered flag was shown after 81 laps when the organizers / flag stand missed the leading car on lap 80.<ref>{{cite web|title=The Swiss Grand Prix|url=https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/october-1982/42/swiss-grand-prix|access-date=26 May 2019|work=[[Motor Sport (magazine)|Motor Sport]]}}</ref>

This was the first World Championship [[Swiss Grand Prix]] since [[1954 Swiss Grand Prix|1954]] (despite it not being held in [[Switzerland]]), and the last running of the event to date. [[Switzerland]] had banned motor racing after the [[1955 Le Mans disaster]]; as of 2021, the ban has been lifted for electric vehicles only.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/arieladams/2015/03/03/tag-heuer-watches-formula-e-racing-help-end-60-year-auto-racing-ban-in-switzerland/2/#3544e3902640 |title=TAG Heuer and Formula E Racing Help End 60-Year Auto Racing Ban in Switzerland |last=Adams |first=Ariel |date=3 March 2015 |website=[[forbes.com]] |access-date=10 June 2018}}</ref> [[Patrick Tambay]], [[Scuderia Ferrari|Ferrari]]'s only entry after team leader [[Didier Pironi]]'s career-ending crash three weeks earlier, was unable to start due to a pinched nerve in his back.<ref>{{cite web|title=Grand Prix Results: Swiss GP, 1982|url=http://www.grandprix.com/gpe/rr371.html|access-date=27 August 2017|publisher=Grandprix.com}}</ref> This was the last of only three times the Ferrari team did not start a World Championship race in which they entered (see also [[1950 French Grand Prix]] and [[1982 Belgian Grand Prix]]).
