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.[1]

The scheduled 2021 North Yorkshire County Council elections were not held due to the restructure of local government in the county.[2]

The North Yorkshire County Council was led by a Conservative Party majority prior to the election.
