The 2022 Australian Superbike Championship season (known for sponsorship reasons as the Alpinestars Australian Superbike Championship) was the 43rd Australian Superbike Championship season. Wayne Maxwell started the season as the reigning champion, after picking up his third title in 2021.

However, it was Mike Jones who would go on take the title, his third overall. This was the first time a Yamaha mounted rider had won the Australian Superbike Championship since Jamie Stauffer in 2007.

The final round of the season was notable for the presence of MotoGP star Jack Miller in his final ride aboard a Ducati, as well as Moto2 rider Marcel Schrötter and Moto3 rider Joel Kelso.

Race calendar and results Initially, an 8-round calendar was announced for 2022, however, a round at Symmons Plains Raceway in Tasmania was later cancelled.

Round 6 of the championship coincided with the final round of the 2022 Superbike World Championship. 2022 calendar Round Circuit Date Pole position Fastest lap Winning rider 1 R1 Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit 25-27 February Wayne Maxwell Wayne Maxwell Bryan Staring R2 Wayne Maxwell Wayne Maxwell 2 R1 Queensland Raceway 18-20 March Mike Jones Bryan Staring Mike Jones R2 Mike Jones Mike Jones 3 R1 Wakefield Park 22-24 April Mike Jones Wayne Maxwell Mike Jones R2 Wayne Maxwell Wayne Maxwell 4 R1 Hidden Valley Raceway 17-19 June Wayne Maxwell Josh Waters Mike Jones R2 Wayne Maxwell Wayne Maxwell R3 Cru Halliday Mike Jones 5 R1 Morgan Park Raceway 5-7 August Wayne Maxwell Wayne Maxwell Wayne Maxwell R2 Troy Herfoss Wayne Maxwell 6 R1 Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit 18-20 November Josh Waters Bryan Staring Bryan Staring R2 Wayne Maxwell Wayne Maxwell R3 Josh Waters Josh Waters 7 R1 The Bend Motorsport Park 25-27 November Mike Jones Wayne Maxwell Troy Herfoss R2 Mike Jones Mike Jones
