  We present a near infrared (NIR) candidate star cluster catalog for the
central kiloparsec of M82 based on new JWST NIRCam images. We identify star
cluster candidates using the F250M filter, finding 1357 star cluster candidates
with stellar masses $>10^4$ M$_\odot$. Compared to previous optical catalogs,
nearly all (87%) of the candidates we identify are new. The star cluster
candidates have a median intrinsic cluster radius of $\approx$1 pc and have
stellar masses up to $10^6$ M$_\odot$. By comparing the color-color diagram to
dust-free yggdrasil stellar population models, we estimate that the star
cluster candidates have A$_{\rm V}\sim3-24$ mag, corresponding to A$_{\rm
2.5\mu m}\sim0.3-2.1$ mag. There is still appreciable dust extinction towards
these clusters into the NIR. We measure the stellar masses of the star cluster
candidates, assuming ages of 0 and 8 Myr. The slope of the resulting cluster
mass function is $\beta=1.9\pm0.2$, in excellent agreement with studies of star
clusters in other galaxies.
