The women's tandem sprint B at the 2022 Commonwealth Games was part of the cycling programme, and took place on 29 July 2022.
No bronze medal was awarded as the minimum requirement of five entries was not met, due to a late withdrawal from the fifth entered team.{{cite web|url=https://ca.movies.yahoo.com/sophie-unwin-left-tears-not-184022794.html|title=Sophie Unwin left in tears after not getting a bronze medal for finishing third|last=Parker|first=Ian|date=29 July 2022|website=www.ca.movies.yahoo.com/|publisher=Yahoo!|access-date=29 July 2022}} This meant that only the gold and silver were awarded, in accordance with Commonwealth Games Federation regulations.{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/commonwealth-games/62356017 |title=Commonwealth Games: Sophie Unwin left in tears after not being awarded bronze medal despite third-place finish |work=BBC Sport |access-date=30 July 2022}}
