The 2022 Santa Catarina state election took place in the state of Santa Catarina, Brazil on 2 October 2022 and 30 October 2022 (second round, if necessary). Voters elected a Governor, Vice Governor, one Senator, 16 representatives for the Chamber of Deputies, and 40 Legislative Assembly members. The incumbent Governor, Carlos Moisés, of the Republicans, was eligible for a second term and ran for reelection.

Moisés was elected Governor in 2018 and took office as the governor on January 1, 2019. Moisés, after alienation from the extreme right, was impeached twice by the Legislative Assembly of Santa Catarina but both impeachments were rejected by the Special Impeachment Court. Moisés was elected as a member of the PSL but joined the Republicans for the 2022 election. Senator Jorginho Mello (PL) was elected governor in the second round with the greatest precentage of votes of the whole election cycle.

For the election to the Federal Senate, the seat occupied by Dário Berger (PSB) since 2014, was at dispute, and the incumbent said that he will run for reelection. Bolsonaro fisheries official Jorge Seif (PL) was elected senator by a 20 point margin.

 Confirmed candidates 

 Rejected candidacies 

 Sergio Moro (UNIÃO) - Federal judge of the Federal Regional Court of the 4th Region (TRF-4) 1996–2018 and Minister of Justice and Public Security in the Jair Bolsonaro's cabinet (2019–2020). He was a potential candidate for the Federal Senate in the state of São Paulo, but the Regional Electoral Court of São Paulo (TRE-SP) rejected the transfer of voting domicile, on the grounds that the former judge didn't have a professional relationship with the State. He can appeal to the Superior Electoral Court (TSE), but decided to run for the Senate representing the state of Paraná.
 Paulo Skaf (Republicanos) - President of CIESP (2007–2021) and President of FIESP (2004–2021). He was one of the possible names for the Senate race in the state of São Paulo. However, the Republicans convention decided to support Marcos Pontes' candidacy.
 Nise Yamaguchi (PROS) - Oncologist and immunologist, university professor. Her party officially endorsed Fernando Haddad and Márcio França, joining the Together for São Paulo coalition. Yamaguchi filed a lawsuit in the electoral justice for an independent candidacy, awaiting decision.

 Withdrawn candidacies 

 José Luiz Datena (PSC) - TV presenter and journalist. He announced the withdrawal of his candidacy for the Federal Senate and said that his decision was influenced by attacks from radical groups.
 Arthur Weintraub (PMB) - Special advisor to the Presidency of the Republic (2019–20) and Secretary of Multidimensional Security at the Organization of American States (OAS) 2020–2022. He withdrew his candidacy for the Senate and decided to be a candidate for Federal Deputy.
 Cristiane Brasil (PTB) - Federal Deputy from Rio de Janeiro (2015–19). She withdrew her candidacy for the Senate, decided to be a candidate for Federal Deputy and endorsed former minister Marcos Pontes (PL).
 Heni Ozi Cukier (PODE) - State Deputy of São Paulo (since 2019). With the formalization of the national alliance between Podemos, Brazilian Democratic Movement and the Brazilian Social Democracy Party, Cukier ended up losing space on Rodrigo Garcia's ticket, who preferred to accommodate other names of allied parties. With this scenario, the deputy ended up giving up his candidacy to run for the Chamber of Deputies.
