The 2022 Oklahoma House of Representative election took place on November 8, 2022.[1] The primary elections for the Republican. Democratic, and Libertarian parties' nominations took place on June 28, 2022.[1] All candidates filed between the days of April 13–15, 2022.[1] Oklahoma voters elected state representatives in all 101 House districts. State Representatives served two-year terms in the Oklahoma House of Representatives.

The 2022 election cycle was the first election following redistricting. Redistricting in Oklahoma was postponed to a special legislative session, because of the 2020 United States census data's release being delayed.[2] New state house districts were signed into law based on data from the 2020 United States census on November 22, 2021.[3]

Republicans went into the 2022 election with a supermajority of seats in the state house over Democrats: 82 (R) to 19 (D).
