The 2022 WAFF Women's Futsal Championship was the third edition of the WAFF Women's Futsal Championship, an international women's futsal Championship organised by the West Asian Football Federation (WAFF) for the women's national teams of West Asia. It was hosted by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for the first time and marked the country's first-ever women's international tournament, held from June 15 to 24, 2022.[1][2]

Iran the two-time defending champions, would have been the defending champions. However, they have since left WAFF to join CAFA. Iraq won their first title after defeating host Saudi Arabia in the final 4–2, thus becoming the first Arab national team to win the title.[3][4][5]
