The 2022 Inverclyde Council elections took place on 5 May 2022, as part of the 2022 Scottish local elections on the same day as the 31 other Scottish local authorities were up for election. The election used the 7 wards created under the Local Governance (Scotland) Act 2004, last changed in 2017, with 22 councillors being elected. Each ward elected either 3 or 4 members, using the STV electoral system. Councillor Lynne Quinn was re-elected with more votes than any candidate in the area with 1,445 first preference votes.
