The 2022 Nevada Assembly election was held on November 8, 2022. The election coincided with elections for other offices including for governor, the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of Representatives, and the Nevada Senate. The primary election was held on June 14, 2022.

Despite Republicans winning 56% of the popular vote among all State Assembly Districts, Democrats gained two seats, winning a supermajority of 28 out of 42 seats. The discrepancy is explained by Democrats' not fielding a candidate in seven safely Republican seats and lower turnout in Democratic-won districts. Democrats won 83% of Assembly districts in Clark County with only 52% of the popular vote in the county.
