Azerbaijan participated at the 2022 Winter Paralympics in Beijing, China which took place between 4–13 March 2022. It was the first time Azerbaijan participated at the Winter Paralympics.[1][2]

Rauf Mursalov served as Chef de Mission.[3] Mehman Ramazanzade would have been the flagbearer for Azerbaijan during the opening ceremony,[3] but due to the injury he missed the ceremony. At the opening ceremony, the Azerbaijani delegation included Rauf Mursalov, Azer Tapdygov and Magomed Ismailov.[4]

In 2008, Ramazanzade competed in powerlifting in the men's 100 kg event at the 2008 Summer Paralympics held in Beijing, China.
