The 1922 Iowa Hawkeyes football team was an American football team that represented the University of Iowa as a member of the Big Ten Conference during the 1922 Big Ten football season. In their seventh year under head coach Howard Jones, the Hawkeyes compiled a 7–0 record (5–0 in conference games), tied with Michigan and Chicago for the Big Ten championship, and outscored opponents by a total of 208 to 33. The Hawkeyes were retroactively selected as the 1922 national champion by the Billingsley Report. The season was part of a 20-game winning streak that began on November 6, 1920, and continued until October 20, 1923.

Iowa quarterback Gordon Locke was a consensus first-team All-American. Locke and guard Paul Minick were consensus selections for the 1922 All-Big Ten Conference football team. Other Iowa players receiving All-Big Ten recognition included center John C. Heldt, end Max Kadesky, tackle George Thompson, and guards Chester Mead and Leo Kriz.

The team played its home games at Iowa Field in Iowa City, Iowa.
