The Asian Women's Volleyball Championship is an international volleyball competition in Asia and Oceania contested by the senior women's national teams of the members of Asian Volleyball Confederation (AVC), the sport's continent governing body. The initial gap between championships was four years, but since 1987 they have been awarded every two years. The current champion is Thailand, which won its third title in 2023.

The 21 Asian Championship tournaments have been won by three different national teams. China have won thirteen times. The other Asian Championship winners are Japan, with five titles; and Thailand with three titles.

The 2021 edition was canceled due to COVID-19 pandemic. The 2023 edition was held in Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand.
