A British Columbia Liberal Party leadership election was held on February 5, 2022, to elect a new party leader, following the resignation of Andrew Wilkinson after the 2020 British Columbia general election.

Kevin Falcon, who had previously been a minister in the government of Christy Clark until 2012 and an MLA until 2013, was declared the winner following the counting of the fifth ballot. He won with 18.54% of points over second-term MLA Ellis Ross, having already led on all previous ballots by large margins.

This was the last leadership election under the name "BC Liberal Party", as the party changed its name to "BC United" in April 2023.
