The 2022 California Insurance Commissioner election was held on November 8, 2022, to elect the Insurance Commissioner of California.

The top two finishers — regardless of party — advanced to the general election in November, even if a candidate managed to receive a majority of the votes cast in the primary election. Incumbent Democratic Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara won re-election to a second term.
