The 1922 Iowa Hawkeyes football team represented the University of Iowa in the 1922 Big Ten Conference football season. The team was coached by Howard Jones, was co-champion of the Big Ten Conference, and was retroactively selected as the 1922 national champion by the Billingsley Report.

Howard Harding Jones was an American football player and coach who served as the head coach at Syracuse University (1908), Yale University, Ohio State University (1910), the University of Iowa (1916–1923), Duke University (1924) and the University of Southern California (1925–1940), compiling a career record of 194–64–21. His 1909 Yale team, 1921 Iowa team, and four of his USC teams won national championships. Jones coached USC in five Rose Bowls, winning all of them. Before coaching, Jones played football at Yale (1905–1907), where he played on three national title-winning teams. He was a member of the inaugural class of inductees into the College Football Hall of Fame as a coach in 1951; his younger brother, Tad, joined him as a member in 1958.
