The Sikkim women's cricket team is a women's cricket team that represents the Indian state of Sikkim.

History Sikkim Women first played in the 2007–08 season, competing in first-class and one-day competitions. They finished bottom of their group in the first-class competition and 4th in their group in the One Day Trophy, with one victory. The following season, 2008–09, they finished bottom of their group in both the first-class and one-day competitions, as well as competing in a T20 competition, but the results are not recorded.
After a ten-year break, Sikkim rejoined the Indian domestic system ahead of the 2018–19 season, after an expansion of teams in Indian domestic cricket. In their first season after their return, they competed in the Senior Women's One Day League, where they finished 6th in the Plate Competition with 2 wins, and in the Senior Women's T20 League, where they finished 6th out of 7 in their group.
The following season, 2019–20, Sikkim finished 9th in the Plate Competition of the Senior Women's One Day League, and again finished 6th in their Senior Women's T20 League group. The following season, 2020–21, with only the One Day League going ahead, Sikkim finished 6th in the Plate Competition, winning 2 of their 6 matches. They again finished 6th in their group in the one-day competition in 2021–22, whilst they finished 5th with two wins in their T20 Trophy group.
