The 1922 Australian Senate election was held on 16 December 1922 to elect 19 of the 36 senators in the Australian Senate as part of the 1922 federal election. Each state elected three senators to serve a six-year term beginning on 1 July 1923, except for Queensland, who elected an extra senator to fill a casual vacancy.[1]

The election saw the Nationalist Party retain its majority in the Senate. However, Labor saw better results than the previous election, winning the popular vote and 11 of the 19 contested seats.
