The World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) Women's Championship is a professional wrestling championship in World Wrestling Entertainment. It is challenged by WWE Divas only and is exclusive to the RAW brand.

The WWE Women's Championship is descended from the same lineage as the NWA World Women's Championship of the National Wrestling Alliance, which is still active today. When Mildred Burke won the World Women's title for the very first time, the NWA recognized her as women's champion, followed by June Byers in a controversial two out of three falls match in 1954. The official NWA Women's title however was introduced in 1956, where The Fabulous Moolah emerged as the victor of a tournament final on September 18. Following this, the title was renamed the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) Women's Championship. The promotion does not recognize other reigns that occurred during the title's existence in the NWA, and as a result, The Fabulous Moolah's reign is considered to have lasted 27 years. Despite these events, the NWA continues to recognize its own NWA World Women's Championship.

In 1990, the Women's Championship became inactive after Rock in' Robin vacated the championship following her departure from the WWF. Then in December 1993, the title was reactivated with Alundra Blayze winning a tournament for the vacant Women's Championship. However, the Women's Championship became inactive again when Blayze unexpectedly signed with World Championship Wrestling in 1995 while still champion, forcing her to relinquish the title. The Women's Championship was reactivated again in September 1998 when Jacqueline Moore defeated Sable to win the title.
