The 2022 CAA men's soccer tournament was the postseason men's soccer tournament for the Colonial Athletic Association held from November 3 through November 12, 2022. The five-match tournament took place at campus sites, with the higher seed hosting. The six-team single-elimination tournament consisted of three rounds based on seeding from regular season conference play. The defending champions were the Hofstra Pride. They were able to successfully defend their title, defeating the top overall seed, Elon 2–1 in the Final. The conference tournament title was the sixth overall for the Hofstra men's soccer program all of which have come under head coach Richard Nuttall. As tournament champions, Hofstra earned the CAA's automatic berth into the 2022 NCAA Division I men's soccer tournament.
This was the last CAA tournament under the "Colonial Athletic Association" identity. On July 20, 2023, the CAA announced it had changed its name to Coastal Athletic Association.
Seeding
The top six teams in the regular season earned a spot in the tournament. Teams were seeded based on regular season conference record and tiebreakers were used to determine seedings of teams that finished with the same record. A tiebreaker was required to determine the fifth and sixth seeds as Drexel and William & Mary both finished with regular season records of 3–3–3. Drexel earned the fifth seed by virtue of their 4–1 regular season win over William & Mary on September 3.
