The 2022 FIBA Asia Cup was the 30th edition of the FIBA Asia Cup, the continental basketball championship in Asia. The tournament was organised by FIBA Asia.

Originally intended to be the 2021 edition, the tournament was initially scheduled to take place between 3 and 15 August 2021,[1] but it was postponed due to 17 to 29 August 2021 to avoid scheduling conflict with the 2020 Summer Olympics which was postponed by a year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2][3] It was later postponed again to 12 to 24 July 2022.[4][5]

Indonesia was the host for second time after staging the 1993 edition. Australia defended their title with a win over Lebanon, while New Zealand grabbed their first medal after winning bronze with a win against Jordan.[6][7]
