The 2022 Indiana's 2nd congressional district special election was a special election to choose a new member of the U.S. House of Representatives. The seat became vacant after incumbent Congresswoman Jackie Walorski died in a traffic collision on August 3, 2022.

In accordance with Title 3, Article 10, of the Indiana Code, a special election must be held for any U.S. House vacancy that occurs more than 74 days before the next general election. On August 9, Governor Eric Holcomb announced the special election was to be held concurrently with the general election on November 8. Parties held caucuses to nominate their candidates for the election; they had until August 26 to do so.

Since the congressional district boundaries set in the 2020 redistricting cycle go into effect on January 3, 2023, the special election was conducted under the old district lines whereas the regular election on the same date was conducted under the new district lines.

Republican caucus

The Indiana Republican Party held its nominating caucus in Mishawaka on August 20. Out of approximately 500 precinct committee members who were eligible to vote, about 375 were present at the caucus. The number of votes received by each candidate was not made public; Indiana Republican Party chair Kyle Hupfer said in a statement that Rudy Yakym received a majority of votes in the first round of balloting and was thus selected to replace Walorski as the Republican nominee in the 2022 regular election. Subsequently, Yakym also won the nomination for the special election by voice vote.
