The 2022 North Yorkshire Council election took place on 5 May 2022, alongside the other local elections. These were the last elections to North Yorkshire County Council, and the elected councillors would also serve as the first councillors on the North Yorkshire Council (a new unitary authority), which replaced the existing county council in April 2023.
The scheduled 2021 North Yorkshire County Council elections were not held due to the restructure of local government in the county.
The North Yorkshire County Council was led by a Conservative Party majority prior to the election.

Tony Randerson, who had been elected in 2022 for Labour, was a candidate of the Social Justice Party, but was listed as an independent on the ballot paper due to the party not being registered with the Electoral Commission. The party was subsequently formally registered in February 2024.
- In June 2023, Mike Jordan, elected as a Conservative in 2022, left the party to contest the 2023 Selby and Ainsty by-election as an independent candidate, causing the council to go under no overall control. He subsequently joined Reform UK in February 2024.
- Also in June 2023, Mike Schofield, elected as a Liberal Democrat in 2022, left the party to sit as an independent.
