The 2022 AFL draft consisted of the various periods where the 18 clubs in the Australian Football League (AFL) could trade and recruit players during and following the completion of the 2022 AFL season.

2022 Covid top-up players

Due to the League wanting to ensure that matches are not cancelled or postponed during the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, each club named twenty players to their Covid top-up player list. For Victorian based teams, all of these players played for their affiliated reserves team or junior development academy, or for clubs outside of Victoria, the majority were sourced from the local second level leagues.{{cite web |title=REVEALED: Every top-up player on your club's list |url=https://www.afl.com.au/news/720124/revealed-every-top-up-player-on-your-club-s-list |website=afl.com.au |date=16 March 2022 |access-date=27 March 2022 |language=en}}

In round 2, West Coast became the first club to utilise the top-up player pool, when they had twelve players unable to play due to the AFL's health and safety protocols. Five players, Angus Dewar, Aaron Black, Stefan Giro, Declan Mountford and Brayden Ainsworth were chosen to play against North Melbourne.{{Cite web |last=Waterworth |first=Ben |date=2022-03-27 |title=Mid-interview moment Eagles coach discovered he'd have to make FOURTEENTH change |url=https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/teams/west-coast-eagles/afl-news-2022-west-coast-eagles-team-changes-for-clash-with-north-melbourne-covid-chaos-jackson-nelson-late-change/news-story/748804f907340a615b68ef0697f258fc |url-status=live |access-date=2022-03-27 |website=Fox Sports |language=en|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220327042032/https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/teams/west-coast-eagles/afl-news-2022-west-coast-eagles-team-changes-for-clash-with-north-melbourne-covid-chaos-jackson-nelson-late-change/news-story/748804f907340a615b68ef0697f258fc |archive-date=27 March 2022 }}
