We present results from a 30 ksec Chandra observation of the importantstarburst galaxy NGC 2782, covering the 0.3-10keV energy band. We find evidenceof a superwind of small extent, that is likely in an early stage ofdevelopment. We find a total of 27 X-ray point sources within a region ofradius 2$D_{25}$ of the galaxy centre and which are likely associated with thegalaxy. Of these, 13 are ULXs ($L_{X}\geq 10^{39}~ erg s ^{-1}$) and a numberhave likely counterparts. The X-ray luminosities of the ULX candidates are$1.2-3.9\times10^{39}~ erg s ^{-1}$. NGC2782 seems to have an unusually largenumber of ULXs. Central diffuse X-ray emission extending to ~ 3kpc from thenuclear region has been detected. We also find an X-ray structure to the southof the nucleus, coincident with H{\alpha} filaments and with a 5 GHz radiosource. We interpret this as a blow-out region of a forming superwind. ThisX-ray bubble has a total luminosity (0.3-10 keV) of $5\times10^{39}erg s ^{-1}$(around $15\%$ of the total luminosity of the extended emission), and aninferred wind mass of $1.5\times10^{6}$ M$_\odot$. We also discuss the natureof the central X-ray source in NGC2782, and conclude that it is likely alow-luminosity AGN (LLAGN), with a total X-ray luminosity of$L_{X}=6\times10^{40}~erg s ^{-1}$ with strong Fe line emission at 6.4 keV.
