The 2022 Nova Scotia New Democratic Party leadership election took place on June 25, 2022 to elect a leader to replace Gary Burrill, who announced his intention to resign on November 9, 2021 after leading the party since 2016 and following the party's defeat in the 2021 Nova Scotia general election.

As the only candidate in the race by the May 21, 2022 deadline, Dartmouth South MLA Claudia Chender was expected to be chosen as leader. At the party convention in Dartmouth on June 25, 2022, Chender was approved by party members and elected as leader.
