The 2022 Arkansas lieutenant gubernatorial election was held on November 8, 2022, to elect the lieutenant governor of the state of Arkansas. The election coincided with various other federal and state elections, including for Governor of Arkansas. Primary elections were held on May 24. Arkansas is one of 21 states that elects its lieutenant governor separately from its governor.
Incumbent Republican lieutenant governor Tim Griffin was barred by the Constitution of Arkansas from running for a third term; he instead ran successfully for attorney general. Griffin was re-elected in 2018 with 64.2% of the vote.
Republican Attorney General Leslie Rutledge won the election, handily defeating her Democratic opponent Kelly Krout. She became the first woman elected lieutenant governor of Arkansas, coinciding with the election of Sarah Huckabee Sanders as the first woman elected governor of Arkansas.
