The 2005 IIHF Women's World Championship was the ninth edition of the Top Division of the Women's Ice Hockey World Championship (the tenth edition overall, if the season when only the lower divisions were played is also counted).

The Top Division tournament was held from April 2 to 9, 2005, in Linköping, at Cloetta Center (now called the Saab Arena), and Norrköping, at Himmelstalundshallen, in Sweden. The United States won their first gold medal at the World Championships, after defeated Canada in a penalty shootout. Sweden won their first medal at the World Women's Championships, defeating Finland 5–2 in the bronze medal game. The championship was expanded to nine teams in 2006, so there was no relegation at any level.
