The Twenty-second dynasty of Egypt were a series of Meshwesh Libyans kings who ruled from 945 BC or 943 BC until 720 BC. They had settled in Egypt since the Twentieth Dynasty. Manetho states that the dynasty originated at Bubastis, but the kings almost certainly ruled from Tanis, which was their capital and the city where their tombs have been excavated. This dynasty is often considered part of the Third Intermediate Period.

Another king who belongs to this group is Tutkheperre Shoshenq, whose precise position in this dynasty is currently uncertain. The so-called Twenty-third dynasty was an offshoot of this dynasty based in Upper Egypt. All of its kings reigned in Middle and Upper Egypt including the Western Desert Oases where a hieratic donation stela dated to the 13th regnal year of Takelot III has been found.
