The 2022 Arnold Strongman Classic was a strongman contest that took place in Ohio, Columbus from 4–5 March 2022 at the Greater Columbus Convention Center. The Arnold Strongman Classic is seen as one of the biggest and most prestigious strongmen events on the circuit. This year marked the return of the competition after the 2021 edition was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Martins Licis won the competition for the first time, becoming only the fourth man to win the Arnold Strongman Classic and the World's Strongest Man competitions after Zydrunas Savickas, Brian Shaw and Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson, with Oleksii Novikov finishing in second place, and Bobby Thompson and Luke Stoltman finishing joint third place.
