The 2022 Big West Conference women's soccer tournament was the postseason women's soccer tournament for the Big West Conference held from October 30 to November 6, 2022.

Seeding
The top six teams in the regular season earned a spot in the tournament and teams were seeded by regular season conference record. A tiebreaker was required to determine the second and third seed and who would get a First Round bye. UC Davis and Cal State Fullerton both finished with identical 6–2–2 regular season records. UC Davis earned the second seed and First Round bye by virtue of their 2–1 home victory over Cal State Fullerton on October 20.{{cite web|url=https://bigwest.org/news/2022/10/28/2022-big-west-womens-soccer-championship-bracket-set-with-regular-season-champion-cal-poly-as-top-seed.aspx|title=2022 Big West Women's Soccer Championship Bracket Set with Regular-Season Champion Cal Poly as Top Seed|publisher=Big West Conference|website=bigwest.org|date=October 28, 2021|access-date=February 8, 2023}}
