The Women's Basketball Conference (WBC) was a women's basketball league in Australia. The WBC began in 1984 and served as a second-tier national league under the Women's National Basketball League (WNBL). It operated for six seasons until it was adopted by the South East Australian Basketball League (SEABL) in 1990.

In 1981, the Women's National Basketball League (WNBL) was established. In 1983, it was determined that two national competitions were required for the development of women's basketball in Australia. A second-tier reserves league to sit under the WNBL was established, with the Women's Basketball Conference (WBC) debuting in 1984. The inaugural WBC champions were the Hobart Hustlers, which was followed by the Canberra Capitals winning in 1985, the South Adelaide Panthers in 1986, and the WAIS Rockets in 1987. The Dandenong Rangers won at least one WBC championship in 1989.

In 1990, the WBC was adopted by the South East Australian Basketball League (SEABL) to become the inaugural SEABL women's competition.
