Elections to the Shetland Islands Council will be held on 5 May 2022 on the same day as the other Scottish local government elections. Seven wards will be contested, each ward electing two to four Councillors using the single transferable vote system form of proportional representation, with 23 Councillors elected.

The elections will be the first held since the passage of the Islands Act 2018 which allowed wards in Scottish councils containing islands to be reduced to single and dual member wards. As a result, the Shetland West ward has been reduced from three members to two.

The Scottish Greens will contest a Shetland Islands Council election for the first time, standing three candidates.

Note: "Votes" are the first preference votes. The net gain/loss and percentage changes relate to the result of the previous Scottish local elections on 4 May 2017. This may differ from other published sources showing gain/loss relative to seats held at dissolution of Scotland's councils.
