The Iran national women's cricket team represents Iran in international women's cricket matches. The team made its international debut in 2009 and is organised by the Islamic Republic of Iran Cricket Association, which is an associate member of the International Cricket Council (ICC).

Iran made its international debut when they played at the 2009 ACC Women's Twenty20 Championship, losing to Nepal on debut in July 2009. In 2012, the Wisden Cricketers' Almanack reported that women's cricket teams existed in eight of Iran's 31 provinces. The team later took part in the 2013 ACC Women's Championship, followed by the 2014 ACC Women's Premier.

In April 2018, the International Cricket Council (ICC) granted full Women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) status to all its members. Therefore, all Twenty20 matches played between Iran women and another international side after 1 July 2018 will be a full WT20I.

Nine women's teams competed in the 2022 National Women's Championship, with a national women's training camp held in the same year. The following year, it was reported that women's cricket in Iran faced a number of challenges, including a lack of suitable facilities and uncertainty around women's participation in sport following the Mahsa Amini protests.
