The 2022 Somerset County Council election will take place in May 2022, alongside the other local elections. All seats to Somerset County Council or its successor(s) will be elected.[1]

The election was due to be held on 6 May 2021, but Robert Jenrick decided in February 2021 to extend the term of office of sitting councillors for one year, as a decision was imminent on whether to convert the county council into one or two new unitary authorities.[2]

Before the election, the Somerset County Council was led by an Conservative Party majority.
