List of WWE Women's Champions

This article is about a list of wrestlers who have held the WWE Women's Championship currently defended on SmackDown. For a list of wrestlers who have held the original WWE Women's Championship, see List of WWE Women's Champions (1956–2010).

The WWE Women's Championship is a women's professional wrestling world championship created and promoted by the American professional wrestling promotion WWE, defended on the SmackDown brand. It was introduced on April 3, 2016, at WrestleMania 32 to replace the WWE Divas Championship and has a unique title history separate from the original WWE Women's Championship. Following the reintroduction of the brand split in July 2016, the title became exclusive to Raw and was renamed as the Raw Women's Championship after SummerSlam in August 2016 when SmackDown created the SmackDown Women's Championship as a counterpart title. As a result of the 2023 WWE Draft, the championships switched brands. In June 2023, the Raw Women's Championship reverted to its original name of WWE Women's Championship while the SmackDown Women's Championship became the Women's World Championship.

The championship is generally contested in professional wrestling matches, in which participants execute scripted finishes rather than contend in direct competition. The current champion is Jade Cargill who is in her first reign. She won the title by defeating previous champion Tiffany Stratton at Saturday Night's Main Event on November 1, 2025 in Salt Lake City, Utah.

As of March 17, 2026, there have been 31 reigns between 14 champions. The first champion was Charlotte, who won the title at WrestleMania 32. She also has the most reigns with six. Bianca Belair's first reign is the longest at 420 days (419 as recognized by WWE), while her second is the shortest at 1 minute, 35 seconds. Becky Lynch has the longest combined reign across her two reigns at 535 days (565 as recognized by WWE). Two women in history have held the championship for a continuous reign of one year (365 days) or more: Becky Lynch and Bianca Belair.
