The 2022 Labour Party leadership election was a leadership election within Ireland's Labour Party that was triggered when Alan Kelly stepped down as Labour leader on 2 March 2022, citing a lack of confidence in his leadership from party colleagues as the reason.[1]

After nominations closed on 24 March, Ivana Bacik was declared the new leader of the Labour Party after becoming the sole candidate.[2]
