The 2022 San Diego City Council election was held on November 8, 2022. The primary election was held on June 7, 2022. Four of the nine seats of the San Diego City Council were contested.

Municipal elections in California are officially non-partisan, although most members do identify a party preference. A two-round system was used for the election, starting with a primary in June followed by a runoff in November between the top-two candidates in each district.

The election resulted in a 9-0 Democratic majority on the city council for the first time in San Diego history.[1]
