The 2022 Arizona gubernatorial election will take place on November 8, 2022, to elect the next governor of Arizona. Arizona is one of twenty-seven states that prohibits its governors from serving more than two consecutive terms. Therefore, incumbent Republican Governor Doug Ducey is term-limited and ineligible to run for a third consecutive term.

Arizona's primaries are scheduled to be held on August 2.
