The 2022 Doha Diamond League, officially the Ooredoo Doha Meeting, was the 24th edition of the annual outdoor track and field meeting in Doha, Qatar. Held on 13 May 2022 at the Suheim bin Hamad Stadium, it was the opening day for the 2022 Diamond League – the highest level international track and field circuit.

The pole vault competition was held one day after the other events, on 14 May.[1]

The meeting was characterized by strong winds exceeeding 20 miles per hour (32 km/h), preventing fast times in most events 400 m and longer. Nonetheless, Francine Niyonsaba upset Faith Kipyegon to win the 3000 m, and Soufiane El Bakkali won the men's 3000 m steeplechase by just 0.01 seconds.[2]
