The 2022 Real Tennis British Open, branded as the Sir John Ritblat Foundation British Open for sponsorship reasons, was the 43rd edition of the British Open since it became an annual event in 1979. The men's event was held at the Queen's Club in London between November 13–22, 2022 and was organised by the Tennis and Rackets Association. It was the final qualifying event for the 2023 Real Tennis World Championship. The women's event was held at the Seacourt Tennis Club on Hayling Island between April 6–10, 2022. The men's draw was the fourth and final grand slam event of the year.

The men's singles draw was won by incumbent World Champion Camden Riviere after being absent in the previous edition. Riviere also won the men's doubles draw alongside Tim Chisholm. The women's singles draw was won by incumbent World Champion Claire Fahey, her tenth British Open singles victory. She also won the doubles draw with her sister Sarah Vigrass, their ninth British Open doubles victory as a pair.

At the conclusion of the tournament, Robert Fahey announced his retirement from singles competitions, although he would participate in the singles competition at the 2024 US Open. William Flynn and Max Trueman made their Open debuts in the doubles competition, reaching the quarter final stage.
