Elections were held in Renfrew County, Ontario on October 24, 2022 in conjunction with municipal elections across the province.
Renfrew County Council County council has no direct elections; its membership is made up of the mayors and reeves of the lower-tier municipalities of the county (including the reeves - rather than mayors - of Deep River, Laurentian Valley and Renfrew), while Arnpror elects a separate councillor for county council.
