The 2022 Haqeeqi Azadi March (Urdu: حقیقی آزادی, lit. 'True Freedom March') was a month-long march from October 28 to November 26, 2022 led by Imran Khan, former prime minister of Pakistan, from Lahore to Rawalpindi against the Shehbaz Sharif ministry. It succeeded 2022 Azadi march, which took place in May. There was an attempted assassination of Imran Khan in Wazirabad on 3 November, which caused an eight-day pause to the march.

On November 27, Khan called off the march and said he would not continue to Islamabad. Instead, Khan announced the resignation of PTI from all assemblies and pushed for the dissolution of the provincial assemblies of Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to force early elections.
