The Chinese Women's Ice Hockey League (Chinese: 中国女子冰球职业联赛; lit. 'Chinese Women's Ice Hockey Professional League'), abbreviated WCIHL, is a professional ice hockey league in China. It was founded by the Chinese Ice Hockey Association (CIHA) as an amateur league in 2021 and was reorganized as a professional league in 2023.[1]

The league should not be confused with the National Women's Ice Hockey Championship (Chinese: 全国女子冰球锦标赛), an annual national competition for provincial teams.
