U.S. Route 22 (US 22) is an east–west United States Numbered Highway that stretches from Cincinnati, Ohio, in the west, to Newark, New Jersey, in the east. In Pennsylvania, the route runs for 338.20 miles (544.28 km) between the West Virginia state line in Washington County, where it is a freeway through the western suburbs of Pittsburgh, and then runs east to Easton and the New Jersey state line in the Lehigh Valley region of eastern Pennsylvania.

Much of US 22 in Pennsylvania follows the route of the historic William Penn Highway. The portion from the Pennsylvania Route 66 (PA 66) interchange near Delmont east to the Interstate 81 (I-81) interchange near Harrisburg is the main part of Corridor M of the Appalachian Development Highway System, although a large portion near the center of the route has not yet been upgraded to a four-lane divided highway.

Between Fredericksburg and just west of Allentown, US 22 runs concurrently with I-78. From Allentown to the New Jersey state line, the route is a freeway named the Lehigh Valley Thruway.
