The 2022 Down Intermediate Football Championship was the 34th official edition of Down GAA's secondary Gaelic football tournament for intermediate clubs in County Down. 16 teams competed, with the winning team representing Down in the Ulster Intermediate Club Football Championship. The tournament operated in a double elimination format for the opening two rounds of the championship, with the winners and early round losers rejoining at the quarterfinal stage.

An Riocht won the 2021 edition after defeating Darragh Cross in the final, and as per competition rules, they did not defend their title as they qualified to play in the Senior Championship.

Saval won the competition for the second time, their first since 1995, after defeating Rostrevor in the final held on 15 October.[1]

Round 3 is a supplementary round for teams to have a second chance at reaching the quarter-finals.
