The 2022 Bangkok gubernatorial election was held on 22 May 2022, this was the eleventh election for the governorship of Bangkok. The election took place 9 years after the latest election in 2013, long delayed due to military rule from 2014 to 2019 following the 2014 coup d'état. Chadchart Sittipunt, an independent candidate who was a member of the Pheu Thai Party, won the election in a landslide and became the 17th governor. He gained over 1.38 million votes, breaking the record set by Sukhumbhand Paribatra in 2013.
Chadchart won an outright majority in every district with over 1 million overall votes more than the first runner-up candidate, Suchatvee Suwansawat, who contested for the Democrat Party. Aswin Kwanmuang, the 16th governor who was appointed by the military junta in 2016, also contested in the election but came in fifth with 8.15% of the vote.
