The Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2022 was the 20th edition of the annual Junior Eurovision Song Contest, organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and host broadcaster Public Television Company of Armenia (AMPTV). The contest took place on 11 December 2022 at the Karen Demirchyan Sports and Concerts Complex in Yerevan, Armenia, following the country's victory at the 2021 contest with the song "Qami Qami" by Maléna.[1] This was the second time that Armenia hosted the Junior Eurovision Song Contest, the first being in 2011.[2]

Sixteen countries participated in the contest. The United Kingdom returned after a sixteen-year absence,[3] while Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Germany and Russia did not take part after participating in the previous edition.[4]

France's Lissandro was the winner of the contest with the song "Oh Maman !". This was France's second victory in the contest, having last won in 2020. Host country Armenia, Georgia, Ireland and the United Kingdom completed the top five, with this being the highest placement for Ireland to date. Meanwhile, Kazakhstan achieved their lowest placing to date.
