The 2022 Purdue Boilermakers football team represented Purdue University in the West Division of the Big Ten Conference for the 2022 NCAA Division I FBS football season. Jeff Brohm was in his sixth season as the team's head coach. The Boilermakers played their home games at Ross–Ade Stadium in West Lafayette, Indiana. Purdue finished the season 8–4, 6–3 in Big Ten play to win the West division. As a result, they received a bid to the Big Ten Championship Game for the first time in program history, where they lost to Michigan. They received a bid to the Citrus Bowl where they lost to LSU.
On December 7, 2022, head coach Jeff Brohm accepted the head coach position at his alma mater Louisville. His brother and Purdue offensive coordinator Brian Brohm served as interim head coach for the Boilermakers during the Citrus Bowl. On December 13, 2022, the school named former Illinois defensive coordinator Ryan Walters the team's new head coach. Walters will be the fourth youngest head football coach at the NCAA Division I FBS level.
Offseason
Coaching changes
On January 5, 2022, Brad Lambert accepted a defensive coordinator position at Wake Forest. Two weeks later, cornerbacks coach James Adams followed Lambert to Wake Forest, while JaMarcus Shephard accepted an assistant coaching position at Washington. Assistant offensive line coach Neil Callaway also announced his retirement following the 2021 season.
To replace these coaches, former Western Kentucky head coach and recent Purdue quality control coach David Elson was hired as linebacker coach, former UAB coach Garrick McGee was brought in as wide receiver coach, and Ashton Youboty was hired as the cornerbacks coach. Ryan Wallace was also promoted to assistant offensive line coach.

Purdue had won four of the previous five in this series, but the Hawkeye defense held the Boilermaker offense 190 yards and 30 points below their averages. Entering the game, Purdue hadn't scored fewer than 20 points in a game this season, and it was the first time Purdue didn't score an offensive touchdown at home since 2013. Freshman running back Kaleb Johnson had 22 carries for 200 yards that included a 75-yard TD run, earning him B1G Offensive Player of the Week and B1G Freshman of the Week honors.
