Taraval and 22nd Avenue is a light rail stop on the Muni Metro L Taraval line, located in the Parkside neighborhood of San Francisco, California. The station opened with the first section of the L Taraval line on April 12, 1919.

With the introduction of new LRVs in the 1990s, a small accessible high platform and concrete boarding island were added for inbound passengers at 22nd Avenue. (Outbound trains still stopped at marked poles before the cross street, and passengers crossed travel lanes to board, as with most stops on the line.) An accessible outbound platform was built at nearby 23rd Avenue stop. In March 2014, Muni released details of the proposed implementation of their Transit Effectiveness Project (later rebranded MuniForward), which included a variety of stop changes for the L Taraval line. The outbound stop at 22nd Avenue and the inbound stop at 24th Avenue would be discontinued, effectively combining the existing accessible platforms (with extended boarding islands) at 22nd Avenue and 23rd Avenue into a single stop.

On September 20, 2016, the SFMTA Board approved the L Taraval Rapid Project. Construction will occur from 2018 to 2020. The boarding island at 22nd Avenue will be extended to the east, with the accessible platform moved adjacent to 21st Avenue. Early implementation of stop eliminations and other changes, including the end of outbound service to 22nd Avenue, occurred on February 25, 2017.
