The 22nd Dragoons was the title held by five separate Cavalry regiments of the British Army raised and disbanded between 1716 and 1945.

Also known as Viscount Mountjoy's Regiment of Dragoons, it appeared on the Army List on 16 February 1716, but was disbanded in 1718.

Tank units thus equipped were not generally used as entire regiments, rather they were split up into troop or squadron-sized formations in support of organised set piece attacks.

The regiment was awarded ten battle honours for operations in the North West Europe Theatre.

One of the Regiment's personnel was Ian Carmichael who later became a well-known actor and who commanded a Troop of B Squadron's Sherman Crabs that landed on Juno Beach on D-Day.
