The 2022 Rolex Paris Masters was a professional men's tennis tournament played on indoor hard courts. It was the 50th edition of the tournament, and a Masters 1000 event on the 2022 ATP Tour. It took place at the Accor Arena in Paris from 31 October to 6 November 2022.
The following are the seeded players. Seedings are based on ATP rankings as of October 24, 2022. Rank and points before are as of October 31, 2022. The entry list was based on ATP rankings as of October 3.
Because the 2021 tournament was non-mandatory, players are defending points from that tournament only if they counted towards their 19 best results as of October 31, 2022. Players who are not defending points from the 2021 tournament will instead have their 19th best result replaced by their points from the 2022 tournament.
Points from the 2021 ATP Finals will also be dropped at the end of the tournament. These points will not be replaced by other results.
† This column shows either the player's points from the 2021 tournament or his 19th best result (shown in brackets). Only ranking points counting towards the player's ranking as of October 31, 2022, are reflected in the column.
