The AFC Women's Futsal Asian Cup, previously the AFC Women's Futsal Championship, is the premier national women's futsal competition of the Asian Football Confederation nations. Iran have won both editions held to date.

The first edition was held in Malaysia from 17 to 26 September 2015.[1][2] The second edition was held in Thailand from 2 to 12 May 2018.[3] The third edition was scheduled to be held in Kuwait in 2020 but was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[4] From 2021, the tournament will be rebranded from the "AFC Women's Futsal Championship" to the "AFC Women's Futsal Asian Cup".[5]

Starting from 2025, the tournament will serve as a qualification for the FIFA Futsal Women's World Cup.
