The Salon of 1822 was an art exhibition held at the Louvre in Paris, opening on 24 April 1822. One of the most notable works to be displayed was The Barque of Dante by the romantic painter Eugène Delacroix, which owed much to Théodore Géricault's The Raft of the Medusa which had appeared at the previous Salon of 1819. Taking place during the Restoration era, it was the last to be held during the reign of Louis XVIII. The Salon of 1824 took place after his brother Charles X had succeeded to the throne.

The Salon was notable for a boycott by Horace Vernet. After two of his paintings The Gate at Clichy and The Battle of Jemappes were rejected by the authorities as their theme depicting battles of the Revolutionary and Napoleonic eras due to being potentially subversive he withdrew all his other paintings from the exhibition barring one, the royal commission Joseph Vernet Tied to a Mast During a Storm. Vernet instead held his own solo exhibition in his studio. Jean-Charles Langlois was awarded a gold medal for his battle scenes. Notable first time exhibitors were Paul Delaroche and Richard Parkes Bonington.
