2022 NCAA Division II women's basketball tournament

The 2022 NCAA Division II women's basketball tournament was the single-elimination tournament to determine the national champion of women's NCAA Division II college basketball in the United States.

The tournament returned to its pre-COVID-19 pandemic field of sixty-four teams.

Regionals
First, second, and third-round games, which comprise each regional championship, will take place on campus sites on March 11, 12, and 14. The top-seeded team in each regional serves as host.

Qualification
A total of sixty-four bids are available for the tournament: 23 automatic bids (awarded to the champions of the twenty-one Division II conferences) and 41 at-large bids.

The bids are allocated evenly among the eight NCAA-designated regions (Atlantic, Central, East, Midwest, South, South Central, Southeast, and West), each of which contains either two or three of the twenty-three Division II conferences that sponsor men's basketball (after the Heartland Conference disbanded in 2019, the South Region now features only two conferences). Each region consists of two or three automatic qualifiers (the teams who won their respective conference tournaments) and either five or six at-large bids, awarded regardless of conference affiliation.
