The NCAA Division II women's volleyball tournament is the annual tournament hosted by the National Collegiate Athletic Association to determine the national champions women's collegiate volleyball among its Division II members in the United States and Canada. It has been held annually since 1981, typically played in December after the fall regular season (the Division II men's tournament, conversely, is held in the spring).

The most successful program has been Concordia Saint Paul, who have won nine titles.

The most recent champions are MSU Denver, who won their first national title in 2025.

History From 1970 through 1980, before the NCAA governed women's collegiate athletics, the Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women alone conducted the women's collegiate volleyball championships.

Volleyball was one of twelve women's sports added to the NCAA championship program for the 1981-82 school year, as the NCAA engaged in battle with the AIAW for sole governance of women's collegiate sports. The AIAW continued to conduct its established championship program in the same twelve (and other) sports; however, after a year of dual women's championships, the NCAA conquered the AIAW and usurped its authority and membership.

There is also an NCAA Men's National Collegiate Volleyball Championship for men's volleyball teams in Division I and Division II seeing as there are far fewer men's programs than women's.

Champions Note: See Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women Champions for the Division II volleyball champions from 1975 to 1981. NOTE: In 1981 there were both NCAA and AIAW champions.
