The 2022 Grand Prix of Espoo was the sixth event of the 2022–23 ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating: a senior-level international invitational competition series. It was held at the Espoo Metro Areena in Espoo, Finland, from November 25-27. Medals were awarded in men's singles, women's singles, pair skating, and ice dance. Skaters also earned points toward qualifying for the 2022–23 Grand Prix Final.

In April 2022, the ISU cancelled the Rostelecom Cup in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The Grand Prix of Espoo was named as its replacement on July 14, 2022.
