The 2022 Ottawa Redblacks season was the eighth season for the team in the Canadian Football League. The Redblacks were eliminated from playoff contention following their week 20 loss to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on October 21, 2022.[1]

The 2022 CFL season was the second season for Paul LaPolice as the team's head coach, but he was fired after leading the team to another 3–11 record.[2] The team had also won just one home game out of 14 tries with LaPolice as head coach, including an 0–7 record in 2022. Bob Dyce, the team's special teams coordinator, was named the interim head coach on October 1, 2022.[2]

This was Shawn Burke's first season as general manager, following the dismissal of Marcel Desjardins who had been in the role since 2013, the year prior to the Redblacks' inaugural season.[3][4]
