The 2022 Arkansas State Auditor election was held on November 8, 2022, to elect the Arkansas State Auditor. The election coincided with various other federal and state elections, including for governor of Arkansas. Primary elections were held on May 24.

Incumbent Republican State Auditor Andrea Lea was barred by the Constitution of Arkansas from running for a third term. Republican State Treasurer Dennis Milligan defeated Democrat Diamond Arnold-Johnson to succeed Lea. Notably, Pulaski County, home to Little Rock, only voted for the Democratic nominee by a 4.8% margin.
