The 2022 Women's FIH Hockey Junior World Cup is the ninth edition of the Women's FIH Hockey Junior World Cup, the biennial women's under-21 field hockey world championship organized by the International Hockey Federation.

It was scheduled to be held from 5 to 16 December 2021 in Potchefstroom, South Africa.[1][2] Because of a new COVID-19 variant, the tournament was put on hold on 26 November 2021 and later postponed, with the option to be hosted by South Africa.[3][4] On 10 January 2022 it was announced the tournament will take place from 2 to 13 April 2022 at the original venue.[5] In February the tournament was moved one day forward to start on 1 and end on 12 April 2022.[6]
