The 2022 AFC Women's Asian Cup qualification was the qualification tournament for the 2022 AFC Women's Asian Cup.{{cite web|url=https://www.the-afc.com/documents/afc-women-s-asian-cup-2022-competition-regulations|title=AFC Women's Asian Cup 2022 Competition Regulations|publisher=Asian Football Confederation}}

A total of twelve teams qualified to play in the final tournament in India.{{cite news |title=India to host AFC Women's Asian Cup 2022 finals |url=https://www.the-aiff.com/article/india-to-host-afc-womens-asian-cup-2022-finals |accessdate=5 June 2020 |work=All India Football Federation |date=5 June 2020}} The host country India and the top three teams of the previous tournament in 2018 qualified automatically, while the other eight teams were decided by qualification, with the matches played between 17 and 29 September and 18–24 October 2021 in centralised venues.{{cite web|url=https://www.the-afc.com/competitions/afc-womens-asian-cup/latest/news/dates-for-expanded-afc-women-s-asian-cup-india-2022tm-confirmed|title=Dates for expanded AFC Women's Asian Cup India 2022 confirmed|publisher=AFC|date=28 January 2021}}

This tournament also served as the first stage of Asian qualification for the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup, where five teams from the Women's Asian Cup qualify directly for the World Cup (plus co-hosts Australia), and two teams qualify for a 10-team playoff tournament.{{cite news |url=https://www.fifa.com/news/update-on-fifa-women-s-world-cuptm-and-men-s-youth-competitions |title=Update on FIFA Women's World Cup and men's youth competitions |work=FIFA |date=24 December 2020 |access-date=24 December 2020}}

The Northern Mariana Islands, whose association became the 47th full AFC member during the confederation's 30th Congress on 9 December 2020,{{cite web | url=https://www.the-afc.com/afc-events/afc-congress/2018/afc-congress-approves-nmifa-s-membership | title=AFC Congress approves NMIFA's membership | publisher=AFC | date=9 December 2020 | access-date=20 March 2021}} were eligible to enter the qualification tournament, but did not participate. They are not FIFA members and thus would not be eligible to qualify for the 2023 Women's World Cup.

Originally, the draw was to be held on 27 May 2021, 15:30 MST (UTC+8), at the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) House in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.{{cite web|url=https://www.the-afc.com/competitions/afc-womens-asian-cup/latest/news/three-top-venues-for-afc-women-s-asian-cup-india-2022tm-confirmed |title=Three top venues for AFC Women's Asian Cup India 2022 confirmed|publisher=AFC|date=26 March 2021 |access-date=26 March 2021}} However, due to rising cases of COVID-19 across Asia, the AFC decided to postpone the original draw date until further notice.{{cite web|url=https://www.the-afc.com/competitions/afc-womens-asian-cup/latest/news/afc-women-s-asian-cup-2022-qualifiers-draw-postponed |title= AFC Women's Asian Cup India 2022 Qualifiers Draw postponed|publisher=AFC|date= 11 May 2021 |access-date= 11 May 2021}} On 23 June, the confederation announced the seeding and the date for the draw, which was held on 24 June, 16:30 MYT (UTC+8), at the AFC House.{{cite web |title=AFC Women's Asian Cup India 2022 and AFC Asian Cup China 2023 hopefuls to discover opponents in Qualifiers' Draws |url=https://www.the-afc.com/competitions/afc-asian-cup/news/afc-women-s-asian-cup-india-2022-and-afc-asian-cup-china-2023-hopefuls-to-discov |publisher=AFC |access-date=23 June 2021}} The 28 teams were drawn into four groups of four teams and four groups of three teams.

The teams were seeded according to their performance in the 2018 AFC Women's Asian Cup final tournament and qualification (overall ranking shown in parentheses). The following restrictions were also applied:

  • The seven teams which indicated their intention to serve as qualification group hosts prior to the draw were drawn into separate groups.
  • These host countries were allocated to positions in each group according to their ranking:
  • Chinese Taipei and Myanmar in position 1
  • Tajikistan and Uzbekistan in position 2
  • Bangladesh, Indonesia, and Nepal in position 4 (if drawn in Group A–D) or position 3 (if drawn in Group E–G)
