Penn State Nittany Lions women's ice hockey[3] is a college ice hockey program that has represented Penn State University in National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I since the 2012–13 season. The Nittany Lions were members of College Hockey America (CHA) from their first season[4] through the 2023–24 season, after which CHA merged with the Atlantic Hockey Association to form Atlantic Hockey America.[5]

The program was preceded by a club team that competed at the American Collegiate Hockey Association (ACHA) Division 1 level, primarily as a member of Eastern Collegiate Women's Hockey League (ECWHL).[6][7][8] Penn State plays its home games at Pegula Ice Arena in University Park, Pennsylvania.
