Elections for the 13th Bangkok Metropolitan Council were held on 22 May 2022, occurring simultaneously with the 2022 Bangkok gubernatorial election. 50 councilors were elected to the council, each representing one of the districts of Bangkok.

Pheu Thai gained 20 seats, while Move Forward gained 14 seats. The Democrat Party, the party which formerly had a majority in the council, won only 9 seats, losing over 36 seats from the last election.
