New Zealand competed at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, China, from 4 to 20 February 2022. The New Zealand team consisted of 15 athletes—nine men and six women—who competed in five sports. Selection of the New Zealand team was the responsibility of the New Zealand Olympic Committee (NZOC).

Alice Robinson and Finn Bilous were the country's flagbearers for the opening ceremony. Nico Porteous was the New Zealand flagbearer at the closing ceremony.

Zoi Sadowski-Synnott became New Zealand's first Winter Olympics gold medallist when she won the women's snowboarding slopestyle. Sadowski-Synnott also won a silver medal, in the women's snowboarding big air. Later in the Games, Nico Porteous won the gold medal in the men's freestyle skiing halfpipe, to become the first New Zealand man and youngest New Zealander to win a Winter Olympics gold medal. With two gold medals and one silver medal, placing New Zealand 17th on the medal table, the 2022 Winter Olympics were the country's most successful since first competing at the Winter Games in 1952.
