The Ranger 22 is an American sailboat that was designed by Gary Mull as an International Offshore Rule mini-ton racer and first built in 1977. The design is out of production.

The boat was built by Jensen Marine/Ranger Yachts in the United States and was also produced in Brazil by Mariner Construções Náuticas Ltd.

The Ranger 22 design was developed into the US Yachts US 22 in 1979.

The Ranger 22 is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a fractional sloop rig, an internally-mounted rudder and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 2,183 lb (990 kg) and carries 900 lb (408 kg) of ballast.

The Ranger 22 has a PHRF racing average handicap of 225 with a high of 238 and low of 221. It has a hull speed of 5.62 kn (10.41 km/h).

Mull said of the Ranger 22 design, "the basic parameter was fun. When we had a decision to make in the design office, we always asked, 'Is it going to contribute to making it more fun?'"
