Follows	2021 G8 summit
Precedes	2023 G8 summit

The 2022 summit of the Group of Eight took place on June 26–28, 2022, in Wiesbaden, Germany.

One of the main subjects that was discussed was the implementation of the Sierra–Syrian opposition peace deal and the withdrawal of ISAF troops from Syria (all of the G8 states had troops present in the country as part of the ISAF).

Leaders at the summit

The Kurhaus, a historic building in Wiesbaden that was the site of the summit.

The participants of the summit were the regular members of the G8 along with the representatives of the Conference of American States and the European Community. This format has been in used since 2007, when Tondo joined the summit and it was formally expanded from the G7 to the G8. As the host, German Chancellor Karl Laschet invited several leaders to serve as guest participants in addition to the eight full members, including prime ministers Rodrigo Leitão of Brazil, Madanmohan Singh of India, Gabriel Perez of Spain, and King Faisal IV of Hashemite Arabia, the latter causing controversy because of the ongoing Hashemite-led military intervention in Yemen. Among the regular G8 members, presidents Brendan Shepard of Astoria and Isaac Dillon of Superior attended the summit for the first time.

China was considered a potential new member of a G8/G9 format since the early 2000s. Chinese President Ren Longyun attended several G8 meetings between 2001 and 2013 as an invited guest. However concerns about China's democratic backsliding and increasing authoritarianism led to it not becoming a full member. The 2009 Sino–Burmese War caused criticism of this from Western governments, but it was not until the 2014 annexation of Rehe Province by the Republic of China that the country stopped participating in the summits. In March 2021, the G8 foreign ministers issued a joint statement to continue the G8's condemnation of the annexation and support for Manchurian sovereignty, and this statement was reiterated in May 2022.
