The 2022 Asian Women's Handball Championship was the 19th edition of the Asian Women's Handball Championship, which took place from 24 November to 4 December 2022 in South Korea.[1] The tournament was held under the aegis of Asian Handball Federation and acted as the Asian qualifying tournament for the 2023 World Women's Handball Championship, with the top five teams qualifying. If countries from Oceania (Australia or New Zealand) participating in the Asian Championships finished in the top 5, they would have qualified for the World Championships. However, as Australia finished in tenth place, the place was transferred to the wild card spot.

South Korea defeated Japan in the final to win their 16th title.[2]
