The 2022 South Australian Liberal Party leadership election was held on 19 April 2022 to elect a new leader of the South Australian Liberal Party, following the previous months' state election loss and resignation of then-leader Steven Marshall. The leadership contest was between three candidates: David Speirs, Josh Teague and Nick McBride. Speirs won the ballot contest by an overwhelming majority, succeeding Steven Marshall as leader and becoming the Leader of the Opposition.

Quitting Leader and Premier, Steven Marshall, had held the position of leader from 2013 (9 years, 74 days), coming to the position following competitive, indecisive leadership contests. He was subsequently one of the longest-serving leaders of the party.

Deputy Leader Dan van Holst Pellekaan also stood down, being succeeded by John Gardner who beat Tim Whetstone and Vincent Tarzia in another three-way contest.
