Honduras competed at the 2022 World Athletics Championships in Eugene, Oregon, United States, which were held from 15 to 24 July 2022. The athlete delegation of the country was composed of one competitor, sprinter Melique García. García competed in the men's 100 metres and started in the preliminary heats before being eliminated in the first round. Background The 2022 World Athletics Championships in Eugene, Oregon, United States, were held from 15 to 24 July 2022. To qualify for the World Championships, athletes had to reach an entry standard (e.g. time and distance), place in a specific position at select competitions, be a wild card entry, or qualify through their World Athletics Ranking at the end of the qualification period.

As the Honduras did not meet any of the four standards, they could send either one male or one female athlete in one event of the Championships who has not yet qualified. The Honduran National Athletics Federation selected sprinter Melique García who held a personal best of 10.50 seconds and a season's best of 10.84 seconds prior to the Championships. Previously, Garcia had competed for the nation at the 2019 IAAF World Athletics Championships held in Doha, Qatar, in the same event. Results

Men García first competed in the preliminary rounds of the men's 100 metres on 15 July 2022 in the fourth round against six other competitors. There, he recorded a time of 10.70 seconds for a season's best and placed third, advancing further as his time was within the next six fastest athletes outside the top two of their heats. During the first round, he competed in the fifth heat against seven other competitors. There, he recorded a time of 10.88 seconds and placed last, failing to advance further to the semifinals as only the top three of each heat and the next three fastest would only be able to do so.
