The 2022 Perlis state election, formally the 15th Perlis state election, took place on 19 November 2022.[1] This election was to elect 15 members of the 15th Perlis State Legislative Assembly. The previous assembly was dissolved on 14 October 2022.[2]

The incumbent Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition faced a historic wipeout (first time in Perlis and second time in national level),[3] winning no seats. The Perikatan Nasional (PN) coalition won 14 of 15 seats (achieving supermajority) and formed the first ever non-UMNO/BN government in the state's history. Pakatan Harapan (PH) meanwhile won only one seat, becoming the sole opposition in the state assembly.
