The 2022 Rally Italia Sardegna (also known as the Rally Italia Sardegna 2022) was a motor racing event for rally cars held from 2 June to 5 June 2022. It was the nineteenth running of the Rally Italia Sardegna. The event was the fifth round of the 2022 World Rally Championship, World Rally Championship-2 and World Rally Championship-3. The event was based in Alghero in Sardinia and was contested over twenty-one special stages covering a total competitive distance of 307.91 km (191.33 mi).
Sébastien Ogier and Julien Ingrassia were the defending rally winners. However, they did not defend their title as Ogier undertakes a partial program in 2022 and Ingrassia retired from the sport at the end of the 2021 season. Jari Huttunen and Mikko Lukka were the defending rally winners in the WRC-2 category. Yohan Rossel and Alexandre Coria were the defending rally winners in the WRC-3 category, but Coria was unable to defend his title as he stepped up to the top-tier to co-drive with Adrien Fourmaux for M-Sport.
Ott Tänak and Martin Järveoja won the rally, their first of the season. Their team, Hyundai Shell Mobis WRT, were the manufacturer's winners. Nikolay Gryazin and Konstantin Aleksandrov won the World Rally Championship-2 category. Jan Černý and Tomáš Střeska won the World Rally Championship-3 category.
