1981–1982 (also often known by the catalog numbers "Factus 8" and "1981-Factus 8-1982") is a five-track EP released by the English rock band New Order in November 1982 through Factory Records. It consists entirely of previously released singles, being the tracks "Procession", "Everything's Gone Green", and "Temptation", as well as two of their B-sides, "Mesh" and "Hurt". 1981–1982 would be New Order's last release to contain production from Martin Hannett, who would stop working with the band during recording sessions for "Everything's Gone Green" due to creative disputes.
All tracks from 1981–1982 would later be featured on the 2008 Collector's Edition of New Order's first studio album, Movement (1981). The EP would be officially reissued during Black Friday 2014 as part of a Record Store Day event.
