File:Layla WWE Women's Champion 2010.jpg was the final WWE Women's Champion]]

The WWE Women's Championship was a women's professional wrestling championship in the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) promotion. The championship was generally contested in professional wrestling matches, in which participants execute scripted finishes rather than contend in direct competition. Over the championship's fifty-six year history, there were 59 recognized reigns between 29 recognized champions and 4 vacancies (there are 6 reigns and 3 people that are not recognized by the promotion). As recognized by WWE, the inaugural champion was The Fabulous Moolah, who won the title on September 18, 1956, which at that time was the NWA World Women's Championship (which still exists today). While she was still champion, it became the WWF Women's Championship in 1984.

In May 2002, after the WWF was renamed to WWE, the championship became the WWE Women's Championship. At the start of the brand extension that began in March 2002, the Women's Championship was defended on any brand until it became exclusive to Raw in September that year. It was the only women's championship in the WWE until SmackDown created the WWE Divas Championship as a counterpart title in July 2008. The titles switched brands in April 2009. On September 19, 2010, at Night of Champions, the Women's Championship was unified with the WWE Divas Championship, retiring the Women's Championship.

The Fabulous Moolah's first reign is the longest reign, and is officially recognized to be 10,129 days as part of her first reign, due to WWE not recognizing title changes between 1956 and 1984 (her first reign's real number is 3,651 days). Moolah technically also is tied with Trish Stratus for the most reigns at 7, but since WWE does not recognize the title changes between 1956 and 1984, Moolah only has 4 reigns. Mickie James' third reign is the shortest at less than 1 hour. The Fabulous Moolah is the oldest champion, having won the title at 76 years old, while Wendi Richter is the youngest champion, winning the title at the age of 22. The final champion was Layla, in her first and only reign.

Only four women held the championship for a continuous reign of one year (365 days) or more: The Fabulous Moolah (who achieved the feat on six separate occasions), Sensational Sherri, Rockin' Robin, and Trish Stratus.{{cite web|url=https://www.wwe.com/titlehistory/wwe-womens-championship/|title=WWE Women's Championship Title History|publisher=WWE|access-date=October 17, 2008|archive-date=January 1, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190101100747/https://www.wwe.com/titlehistory/wwe-womens-championship|url-status=live}}

The title was known as the NWA World Women's Championship (which still exists today) until May 19, 1984, when Moolah sold the rights to the championship to the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE) and the title was renamed to WWF Women's Championship. After a while the NWA & WWF Women's championship names and histories we're looked at separately completely and Moolah was officially recognized as the inaugural WWF Women's Champion.
