The 2022 Ottawa municipal election was held on Monday, October 24, 2022, to elect a mayor, city councillors, and trustees to the English and French public school boards and the English and French Catholic school boards in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.[2]

Incumbent Mayor Jim Watson did not run for re-election, citing his age as the reason behind his decision.[3] This election was the first since the 1997 municipal election that an incumbent mayor or its equivalent[a] did not run for re-election. The mayoral election was won by businessman and former journalist Mark Sutcliffe.[4]

Candidate nominations opened on May 2 and closed on August 19.[5] The election was held on the same day as the 2022 Ontario municipal elections.
