The 2022 Pacific hurricane season is an upcoming event in the annual tropical cyclone season in the northern hemisphere. The season will officially begin on May 15, 2022 in the Eastern Pacific Ocean, and on June 1, 2022 in the Central Pacific; both will end on November 30, 2022. These dates historically describe the period each year when most tropical cyclones form in the Pacific Ocean basin and are adopted by convention. However, the formation of tropical cyclones is possible at any time of the year.

The following names will be used for named storms that form in the northeastern Pacific Ocean during 2022.[1] Retired names, if any, will be announced by the World Meteorological Organization during the joint 45th Sessions of the RA IV Hurricane Committee in the spring of 2023. The names not retired from this list will be used again in the 2028 season. This is the same list used in the 2016 season.

This is a table of all the storms and that have formed in the 2022 Pacific hurricane season. It includes their duration, names, landfall(s), denoted in parentheses, damages, and death totals. Deaths in parentheses are additional and indirect (an example of an indirect death would be a traffic accident), but were still related to that storm. Damage and deaths include totals while the storm was extratropical, a tropical wave, or a low, and all the damage figures are in 2022 USD.
