Women's Asian U18 Volleyball Championship
The Women's Asian U18 Volleyball Championship is a biennial competition contested by the under-18 women's national teams of the Asian Volleyball Confederation as part of the Asian Youth Volleyball Championship. The competition broke its biennial design only in 2008, a year after it held its 2007 competition in Kamphaeng Phet, and in 2018, following the holding of a competition in 2017 in Chongqing. It formerly carried the title Asian Youth Women's Volleyball Championship (in the tournament's 1st and 2nd editions), the Asian Youth Girls' Volleyball Championship (in the 3rd-7th and 9th-10th editions), and the Asian Youth Girls' U18 Volleyball Championship (in the 8th and 11th editions),

In 2018, the championship's 12th edition carried the title Girls' U17 Volleyball Championship, but the age group was reverted back to U18 in accordance with decisions made during the March 21–22, 2022, FIVB Board of Administration meeting, which considered it important for the representative women’s age-group teams from Asia to compete in the FIVB Age Group Championships in 2023. The board thus announced the adjustment of all 2022 Age Group Championships to align themselves with the 2023 FIVB age-group categories per gender of Under-19 and Under-21 for both genders. The top 4 teams of the Women's Asian U18 Volleyball Championship qualified for the FIVB Volleyball Girls' U19 World Championship.
Since it started in 1997, the championship's tournaments have been won by only two countries. Japan have won nine times, including in 2022, while China have won four titles.
