The Women's FIH Hockey Junior World Cup, formerly known as the Women's Hockey Junior World Cup, is the field hockey Junior World Cup competition for women. The format for qualification and the final tournament is similar to the men's.
It is organized by the International Hockey Federation and has been played since 1989. The tournament features players who are under 21 years of age and is held once every two years.
Four teams have dominated in past events. Netherlands is the most successful team, having won the tournament six times, followed by Korea and Argentina. Germany have won the tournament once.
In response to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the FIH banned Russia from the 2022 Women's FIH Hockey Junior World Cup, and banned Russian and Belarusian officials from FIH events.
