2022 United States House of Representatives elections in Oklahoma

The 2022 United States House of Representatives elections in Oklahoma were held on November 8, 2022, to elect the five U.S. representatives from the state of Oklahoma, one from each of the state's five congressional districts. The primary elections for the Republican. Democratic, and Libertarian parties' nominations took place on June 28, 2022.

The 2022 election cycle was the first election following redistricting in 2020–21. Redistricting in Oklahoma was postponed to a special legislative session, because of the 2020 United States census data's release being delayed. New congressional districts were signed into law based on data from the 2020 United States census on November 22, 2021.

The Republican incumbent, Kevin Hern, was re-elected with 63.7% of the vote in 2020. Since only one candidate filed to be a nominee for each party, there were no primary elections in Oklahoma's 1st congressional district.
