The 2022 Wyoming Senate election took place on Tuesday, November 8, 2022, with the primary election held on Tuesday, August 16, 2022. Wyoming voters selected state senators in the 16 odd-numbered districts of the Senate to serve four-year terms.

The election coincided with United States national elections and Wyoming state elections, including U.S. House, Governor, and Wyoming House.

Following the previous election in 2020, Republicans held a 28-to-2-seat supermajority over Democrats. These were the first elections in the odd-numbered Wyoming Senate districts following the 2020 United States redistricting cycle, which resulted in redrawn legislative district boundaries and the creation of a new 31st district. Republicans expanded their supermajority to 29-to-2 over Democrats by gaining a seat in the new 31st district in 2022.
