The 2022 Mato Grosso do Sul state election took place in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil between 2 October 2022 (first round) and 30 October 2022 (second round). Voters elected a governor, vice governor, a senator, 8 representatives for the Chamber of Deputies of Brazil (federal deputies) and 24 Legislative Assembly members (state deputies). The incumbent governor at the time, Reinaldo Azambuja, wasn't allowed to run for reelection for a third consecutive time due to term limits established by the Federal Constitution of Brazil (art. 14, paragraph 5).

Eduardo Riedel, a member of the Brazilian Social Democracy Party was elected governor along with José Carlos Barbosa, his vice governor, a member of Progressistas. The governor and the vice governor are both elected for a four-year term starting 1 January 2023 and with the approval of Constitutional Amendment nº 111, their terms will end on 6 January 2027.

For the Federal Senate election, the seat occupied by the incumbent Simone Tebet (MDB) was at dispute. She was first elected as a senator in 2014 Mato Grosso do Sul state elections and decided to run for presidency in 2022 Brazilian general election. Tereza Cristina, the former Minister of Agriculture of Brazil under the Presidency of Jair Bolsonaro, was elected to replace Tebet as a senator for an eight-year term (2023–2031).
