The 1992 Japanese Formula 3000 Championship was the twentieth season of premier Japanese single-seater racing. It was contested over 11 rounds at four venues. 21 teams, 34 drivers, four chassis, three engines, and three tyre suppliers competed. Italian driver Mauro Martini won the series championship for Team Nova.
The season was marred by the death of 1989 All-Japan F3000 Champion Hitoshi Ogawa in a collision with Andrew Gilbert-Scott during the fourth round of the championship at Suzuka Circuit. Since Ogawa's death, no other driver has been fatally injured in a Japanese top formula race.
All races took place at venues in Japan.
Note: Race 4 shortened because of a crash on Lap 27 between Hitoshi Ogawa and Andrew Gilbert Scott that killed Ogawa, past the 75% distance rule.
For every race points were awarded: 9 points to the winner, 6 for runner-up, 4 for third place, 3 for fourth place, 2 for fifth place and 1 for sixth place. No additional points were awarded. The best 7 results count. One driver had a point deduction, which are given in ().
