The 8th FINA World Junior Swimming Championships was held from 30 August to 4 September 2022 at the Videna Aquatic Center in Lima, Peru.[1] It was open to competition for girls ages 14 to 17 years old and boys ages 15 to 18 years old at the end of the 2022 calendar year.[2] All events were conducted in a 50-metre (long course) pool.

Originally the competition was planned for 24–29 August 2021, however the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in its postponement to 24–29 August 2022.[3] In April 2022, FINA announced a change of dates as well as a change host from Kazan, Russia to Lima, Peru due to the 2022 Russia invasion of Ukraine.[4] The same month, FINA announced athletes and officials from Belarus and Russia were banned from the Championships.[5]
