Ski jumping at the 2022 Winter Olympics was held at the Snow Ruyi hill in Zhangjiakou, China.[1][2] The events were held between 5 and 14 February 2022.[3]

In July 2018, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) officially added the mixed team event to the Olympic program, increasing the total number of events to 5.[4][5] A total of 105 quota spots (65 men and 40 women) were distributed to the sport, the same as the 2018 Winter Olympics.[6] A total of five events were contested, three for men, one for women and one mixed.[7]

On 7 February, Canada won the bronze medal in the mixed team competition, the first ever ski jumping medal for the country at the Winter Olympics.[8][9][10][11]
