The United States competed at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, China, from February 4 to 20, 2022.
On January 24, 2022, the United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee named a team of 224 athletes. Curler John Shuster and speed skater Brittany Bowe were named U.S. flagbearers for the opening ceremony. Bobsledder Elana Meyers Taylor was named flagbearer for the closing ceremony.
The United States won nine gold and 25 medals overall at the 2022 Winter Olympics, finishing third in the medal standings, an improvement from fourth in the previous two Winter Olympics and matching the gold medal totals from the four previous Games. Notable successes included Jessie Diggins becoming the first American female skier to win individual cross-country medals, figure skater Nathan Chen breaking the short program world record en route to the Olympic gold medal in the men's singles, Erin Jackson becoming the first Black female athlete of any country to win an Olympic gold (in speed skating), and Chloe Kim defending her title in the snowboarding women's halfpipe. Veteran snowboarder Lindsey Jacobellis, who last medaled at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, was one of just two U.S. athletes with multiple gold medals, winning the women's snowboard cross event, and sharing the gold with teammate Nick Baumgartner in the mixed snowboard cross event. Figure skater Nathan Chen won gold in both the team and individual men's events. Kaillie Humphries won gold in women's monobob, with the event having made its debut at these games.

Alpine skiing
The United States qualified a team of six men and 12 women.
The most decorated skier on the U.S. side was Mikaela Shiffrin, who was favored to win gold in several of the six events she was planning to compete in (especially slalom and giant slalom). However, she uncharacteristically crashed out of those races and then finished ninth in the super-G. In the remaining events, Shiffrin did not win a medal.
Nina O'Brien badly fractured her leg and was hospitalized. Top U.S. downhiller Breezy Johnson also qualified for the team, but had to withdraw due to a knee injury sustained in January.
