The 2022 Anaheim mayoral election was held on November 8, 2022, to elect the next mayor of Anaheim, California. Municipal elections in California were officially nonpartisan; candidates' party affiliations do not appear on the ballot.
One-term mayor Harry Sidhu, who was elected in 2018 with 32.5% of the vote, resigned in May 2022 amid corruption allegations and an investigation by the FBI regarding the sale of Angel Stadium. The office of mayor has since remained vacant, with mayor pro tempore Trevor O'Neil serving in an acting capacity.
Attorney Ashleigh Aitken won the election, becoming the first woman elected mayor of Anaheim.
