The 2022 Asian Women's U18 Volleyball Championship was the 14th edition of the Asian Women's U18 Volleyball Championship, a biennial international women's volleyball tournament organised by the Asian Volleyball Confederation (AVC), in 2022 with the Thailand Volleyball Association (TVA), for the under–18 women's national teams of Asia.

The tournament was held in Nakhon Pathom, Thailand, from 6 to 13 June 2022. The tournament was supposed to be hosted by Uzbekistan on the same dates, but due to unforeseen reasons Nakhon Pathom replaced Tashkent as the host city for the eight-day Championship. That year, the previously U17 tournament was adjusted to become an U18 championship as approved by the AVC Board of Administration.

Like the previous editions, the tournament acted as the AVC qualifiers for the FIVB Volleyball Girls' U19 World Championship. The top four teams qualified for the 2023 FIVB Volleyball Girls' U19 World Championship as the AVC's representatives.[1]

A total of eleven teams played in the tournament, with players born on or after 1 January 2005 eligible to participate. It was originally a U-17 competition for players born on or after 2006,[2] but as the change to a U-18 tournament proceeded, the age restriction was changed to 2005.[3]
