The China women's national volleyball team (Chinese: 中国国家女子排球队, or 中国女排 for short) represents the People's Republic of China in international volleyball competitions and friendly matches governed by Chinese Volleyball Association. The current head coach is Cai Bin.

The team is one of the leading and most successful squads in women's international volleyball, and one of the most popular sports team in China, having won ten championships titles in the three major international competitions of volleyball, including five World Cups (1981, 1985, 2003, 2015, 2019), two World Championships (1982, 1986) and three Olympic titles (1984, 2004, 2016).

China took five consecutive World titles in the 1980s. The most recent three competition records are the 6th place in the 2022 World Women's Volleyball Championship, the 2019 Women's Volleyball World Cup champion, and the 2020 Tokyo Olympics missed the top 8. In 2011, 2014, 2015 and 2016, the Chinese women's volleyball team won the "Best team" award in the CCTV sportsmanship competition.[1] The team now ranks the 6th place at the FIVB World Rankings.
