The 2022 American League Championship Series was the best-of-seven playoff in Major League Baseball's 2022 postseason between the two American League Division Series winners, the top-seeded Houston Astros and the second-seeded New York Yankees, for the American League (AL) pennant and the right to play in the 2022 World Series.

The series began on October 19 with a potential Game 7 scheduled for October 26 if it had been necessary, with the only off-day being October 21. TBS televised all games in the United States. For the fourth time in the last six seasons, the Astros won the ALCS to advance to the 2022 World Series, defeating the Yankees in a four-game sweep. Astros shortstop Jeremy Peña was named the Series MVP, hitting .353 with two home runs.

The Astros would go on to defeat the Philadelphia Phillies in the World Series in six games, winning their second World Series championship in six years and the second in franchise history.
