The 2022 Tallinn Open event was a professional women's tennis tournament played on indoor hard courts at the Forus Tennis Centre^[1] and held between 26 September and 2 October 2022.

The event was held for the first time, however, it was one of the six tournaments that were given single-year WTA 250 licenses in September and October 2022 due to the cancellation of tournaments in China during the 2022 season because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the suspension of tournaments in China following former WTA player Peng Shuai's allegation of sexual assault against a Chinese government official.^[5]^[6]
