The 2022 Fargo mayoral election was held on June 14, 2022. Incumbent mayor Tim Mahoney was re-elected with 40 percent of the approval votes, and was approved of on 64 percent of all ballots. This election was the first mayoral election held in Fargo, North Dakota, after the municipality voted to instate a ballot measure to use approval voting in the city in 2018. It was the first city in the country to implement approval voting, and along with St. Louis, Missouri, is one of two cities to use the system in the United States.
