The 1922 Idaho Vandals football team represented the University of Idaho as a member of the Northwest Conference and the Pacific Coast Conference (PCC) during the 1922 college football season. Led by first-year head coach Robert L. Mathews, the Vandals compiled an overall record of 3–5. Idaho had a record of 2–3 in Northwest Conference play, placing fourth, and 0–4 against PCC opponents, finishing last out of eight teams.^[1] The team played only one home game, on campus, at MacLean Field in Moscow, Idaho.
