Presidential elections were held in Colombia in February 1922. The result was a victory for Pedro Nel Ospina of the Conservative Party, who received 62% of the vote. He took office on 7 August.
His main opponent, Benjamín Herrera of the Liberal Party, was also supported by the Socialist Party. The Liberal Party claimed that the election had been marred by blatant fraud.
