The 2022 IIHF U20 Asia and Oceania Championship was an international men's under-20 ice hockey tournament organized by the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF).

To be eligible as a "junior" player in this tournament, a player cannot be born earlier than 2002.

Thailand won its first U20 Asia and Oceania Championship and its first gold medal ever on home ice after defeating Singapore 4–3 in the gold medal game. ^[2] Hong Kong won the bronze medal after a 6–5 victory over the United Arab Emirates.
