The 2022 United States Senate election in Hawaii was held on November 8, 2022, to elect a member of the United States Senate to represent the state of Hawaii. The primary took place on August 13.

Incumbent Democrat Brian Schatz won re-election to a second full term in a landslide, winning 71.2% of the vote to Republican state representative Bob McDermott's 26%. However, the results represented a slightly lower margin of victory for Schatz compared to his previous victory in 2016.

Schatz was originally appointed to the Senate in 2012 following the death of incumbent Daniel Inouye. He won a special election to finish Inouye's term in 2014, won his first full term in 2016, and ran for reelection for his second full term in 2022. [2]
