The Utah Tech Trailblazers women's basketball team represents Utah Tech University in St. George, Utah. Starting in 2020–21 season, the Trailblazers play in Division I and are members of the Western Athletic Conference. Previously, the school's team participated in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference, at the Division II level of the NCAA. The team announced January 5, 2021, that they would suspend their 2020–2021 season indefinitely, in wake of continued cancellations due to COVID-19.{{Cite web|title=Dixie State women’s basketball suspends 2020–21 season|url=https://www.stgeorgeutah.com/news/archive/2021/01/05/rma-spo-dixie-state-womens-basketball-suspends-2020-21-season/|access-date=2021-01-07|language=en-US}}

The Trailblazers are currently led by head coach JD Gustin, starting his ninth year.

The team plays its games at the Burns Arena on its campus in St. George.

In 2022, the university changed their name from Dixie State University to Utah Tech University. While the legal change doesn't occur until July 1, 2022, the school has already began using Utah Tech branding in all sites, materials, recruiting etc. The "Trailblazers" nickname will not be affected. The 2021–2022 was the last Trailblazers team to use the "Dixie State" name.
