The Americas Zone was one of the three regional zones of the 1982 Davis Cup.

10 teams entered the Americas Zone in total, split across the North & Central America and the South America Zones. The winner of each sub-zone advanced to the Americas Inter-Zonal Final, with the winner promoted to the following year's World Group.[1]

Paraguay defeated Canada in the Americas Inter-Zonal Final and qualified for the 1983 World Group.[2]
