The 2025 Women's EuroHockey Championship will be the 17th edition of the Women's EuroHockey Championship, the biennial international women's field hockey championship of Europe organised by the European Hockey Federation.

The tournament will be held alongside the men's tournament at the Warsteiner HockeyPark in Mönchengladbach, Germany from 9 to 17 August 2025.[1][2] It will be the third time Mönchengladbach will host the event.

The winner will qualify for the 2026 Women's FIH Hockey World Cup to be held in Wavre, Belgium and Amstelveen, Netherlands.[3] The Netherlands are the four-time defending champions.[4] If Belgium, the Netherlands or Germany win this tournament or if these three countries reach the semifinals, the highest ranked team will qualify.
