The 2022 Meath Intermediate Football Championship was the 96th edition of the Meath GAA's premier club Gaelic football tournament for Intermediate graded teams in County Meath, Ireland. The tournament consisted of 18 teams and started with a group stage before progressing to a knock out stage. The winner will represent Meath in the Leinster Intermediate Club Football Championship.

Trim were the 2021 Meath Intermediate Football Champions after they defeated Oldcastle in the final.[1] As a result, after competing at Intermediate level since 2012, they will compete in the 2022 Meath Senior Football Championship.

Dunshaughlin were relegated from the Senior Football Championship in 2021 after competing in the Senior Football Championship since 1998 and winning three Meath Senior Football Championships and one Leinster Senior Club Football Championship in that time. St. Vincent's were promoted to the I.F.C. after beating Dunsany in the 2021 Meath Junior Football Championship final.[2] Syddan, Ballinlough and Moylagh were relegated to the 2022 Meath Junior Football Championship.

The draw for the group stages of the championship took place on 9 May 2022 with the games commencing on 7 July 2022.

On 15 October 2022, Dunshaughlin beat Duleek/Bellewstown by 0-17 to 0-7 to win the Mattie McDonnell Cup for the third time in their history and return to the senior ranks having only been relegated the previous season.[3]
