2022 United States House of Representatives elections in Oklahoma

The 2022 United States House of Representatives elections in Oklahoma were held on November 8, 2022, to elect the five U.S. representatives from the state of Oklahoma, one from each of the state's five congressional districts. The primary elections for the Republican. Democratic, and Libertarian parties' nominations took place on June 28, 2022.

The 2022 election cycle was the first election following redistricting in 2020–21. Redistricting in Oklahoma was postponed to a special legislative session, because of the 2020 United States census data's release being delayed. New congressional districts were signed into law based on data from the 2020 United States census on November 22, 2021.

District 1

The Republican incumbent, Kevin Hern, was re-elected with 63.7% of the vote in 2020. Since only one candidate filed to be a nominee for each party, there were no primary elections in Oklahoma's 1st congressional district.

Republican primary

The 14 candidate Republican primary for Oklahoma's 2nd Congressional district is the largest Republican primary since 1936 when 15 Republican candidate ran for Oklahoma Corporate Commissioner and the largest primary in the state since the 24-candidate 1954 Democratic primary for Oklahoma Secretary of State.

Oklahoma's 2nd congressional district has been noted for drawing several tribal citizens to the race. After the McGirt v. Oklahoma decision there has been renewed interest in issues related to tribal sovereignty. Guy Barker is the secretary-treasurer of the Quapaw Nation and Wes Nofire is a Cherokee Nation tribal councilor. Josh Brecheen, Avery Frix and Dustin Roberts are members of the Choctaw Nation and Johnny Teehee is a member of the Cherokee Nation.

At least one candidate, John R. Bennett, called for the disestablishment of the Muscogee Nation in Oklahoma. The Inter-Tribal Council of the Five Tribes denounced Bennett's candidacy in response to his calls for disestablishment.
