The WWE SmackDown Women's Championship is a women's professional wrestling world championship created and promoted by the American professional wrestling promotion WWE on the SmackDown brand. Unveiled on the August 23, 2016, episode of SmackDown Live, it was created to be the counterpart title to the then-WWE Women's Championship, which became exclusive to Raw as a result of the 2016 WWE draft and renamed to Raw Women's Championship.

The championship is generally contested in professional wrestling matches, in which participants execute scripted finishes rather than contend in direct competition. The inaugural champion was Becky Lynch, who won the title at Backlash on September 11, 2016. Asuka is the current champion in her first reign. She defeated former champion Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair in a Triple Threat Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match at TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs in San Jose, California on December 16, 2018.

Overall, there have been 11 reigns between 7 champions and 1 vacancy. Charlotte Flair holds the record for the longest reign at 147 days while Naomi has the shortest reign at 9 days (WWE recognizes 146 days and 8 days, respectively). Flair and Becky Lynch are tied for the longest combined reign at 175 days (although WWE recognizes 173 days for Flair). Alexa Bliss, Naomi, Flair, and Lynch are tied with the most reigns at two. Asuka is the oldest champion, having won the title at 37, while Bliss is the youngest when she won it at 25.
