This page documents all tornadoes confirmed by various weather forecast offices of the National Weather Service in the United States from November to December 2022. On average, there are 54 confirmed tornadoes in the United States in November and 28 in December. In November and December, these tornadoes are most likely in the southern states due to their proximity to the unstable airmass and warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico, with occasional incursions farther north into the Midwest especially in November.

Most of the tornadoes during the month of November came from two significant outbreaks. The first one produced 31 tornadoes at the beginning of the month, including two violent EF4 tornadoes, while the other at the end of the month produced 27. As a result, November finished with a near average 63 tornadoes. December was significantly above average, with 79 tornadoes. Almost all of the tornadoes occurred during an outbreak in the middle of the month that produced 77 tornadoes.
