2022 SWAC women's soccer tournament

The 2022 SWAC women's soccer tournament was the postseason women's soccer tournament for the Southwestern Athletic Conference held November 3–6, 2022. The seven-match tournament took place at the Prairie View A&M Soccer Stadium in Prairie View, Texas. The eight-team single-elimination tournament consisted of three rounds based on seeding from regular season conference play. The defending champions were the Prairie View A&M Panthers, however they were unable to defend their title, not qualifying for the tournament as they finished in ninth place in regular season play.[1] Top seed Jackson State won the tournament, defeating Grambling State in overtime in the Final.[2] The conference tournament title was the third in the history of the Jackson State women's soccer program, and first for head coach Ted Flogaites.[3] As tournament champions, Jackson State earned the SWAC's automatic berth into the 2022 NCAA Division I Women's Soccer Tournament.
