The 2022 UCI Women's World Tour was a competition that included twenty-three road cycling events throughout the 2022 women's cycling season. It was the seventh edition of the UCI Women's World Tour, the ranking system launched by the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) in 2016. The competition began with Strade Bianche on 5 March, and finished with the final stage of the Tour de Romandie Féminin on 9 October.
Dutch rider Annemiek van Vleuten (Movistar Team) became the first rider to win the individual classification for a third time, having previously won the 2018 and 2021 titles. She won four overall victories during the season, including the Giro Donne and the inaugural Tour de France Femmes - becoming the first woman to complete a Giro–Tour double in the same year.
Second place went to fellow Dutch rider Lorena Wiebes (Team DSM) who won three events. Third place was taken by Elisa Longo Borghini (Trek–Segafredo) for the second year in succession - Borghini won five events, including Paris–Roubaix Femmes. Twelve different riders won races, with five riders holding the individual classification lead during the season.
As in previous years, the teams classification was won by SD Worx - their sixth win in seven seasons. The youth classification was won by Dutch rider Shirin van Anrooij (Trek–Segafredo).
