Barbora Krejčíková and Kateřina Siniaková defeated the defending champion Elise Mertens and her partner Zhang Shuai in the final, 6–2, 6–4 to win the ladies' doubles tennis title at the 2022 Wimbledon Championships. It was their second Wimbledon title together and fifth major title together overall.

Hsieh Su-wei was the two-time defending champion,[1] but she did not return to compete.

Samantha Stosur was attempting to complete the career Grand Slam, but she lost in the first round to Aliona Bolsova and Ingrid Neel.[2]

This was the first edition of Wimbledon to feature a champions tiebreak (10-point tiebreak), when the score reaches six games all in the third set,[3] and the third edition to feature a final-set tiebreak. Jule Niemeier, Andrea Petkovic, Miyu Kato, and Aldila Sutjiadi were the first players to contest this tiebreak in the ladies' doubles event, with the team of Niemeier and Petkovic winning the tiebreak 14–12 in their first-round match.
