The 2022 Cork Premier Senior Football Championship was the third staging of the Cork Premier Senior Football Championship and the 134th staging overall of a championship for the top-ranking Gaelic football teams in Cork. The championship ran from 9 June to 30 October 2022.
St. Finbarr's entered the championship as the defending champions. Newcestown's relegation after a playoff defeat by Éire Óg ended 11 years of top tier football for the club.
The final was played on 30 October 2022 at Páirc Uí Chaoimh in Cork, between Nemo Rangers and St. Finbarr's, in what was their third ever meeting in the final overall and a first meeting in five years. Nemo Rangers won the match by 1-16 to 2-09 to claim their 23rd championship title overall and a first title in two years.
Luke Connolly and Brian Hurley were the championship's joint-top scorers.
