The '''IWE Women's Championship''' was a professional wrestling [[Championship|championship]] in the [[International Wrestling Entertainment]] (IWE) promotion. Created in 1956, it was the oldest active professional wrestling championship in International Wrestling Entertainment history until its retirement in 2010 as a result from a unification with the [[IWE Divas Championship]]. On April 3, 2016, at [[IWE WrestleMania 32|WrestleMania 32]], [[IWE Hall of Fame|IWE Hall of Famer]] [[Nicole Dumas (wrestler)|Lita]] announced the retirement of the Divas Championship and the return of the Women's Championship, accompanied by a new belt design.

The inaugural champion was [[The Fabulous Moolah|The Fabulous Marj]] who defeated [[Judy Grable]] in September 1956 and she by far had the longest official reign by holding it for 27 years, 10 months, 5 days, or a total of 10,170 days. [[Trish Stratus|Bailey Dalton]] has had more reigns than anyone else, with seven. Sari Pasma has the shortest reign, while in Paris on April 24, 2007. Pasma defeated then-champion Denise and Courtney Savoie in a Triple Threat Match. However, Jonathan Coachman, the Acting General Manager for Raw said that since Sari pinned Courtney, Denise deserved an immediate rematch in which she won by having her feet on the ropes. Amber, Bailey Dalton (Last Reign) and Victoria are the only undefeated champions in IWE history as Amber retired during her first reign and Amanda Johnson unified the Divas and Women's titles in Victoria's place(Victoria being the Womens Champion at the time). Rockin Robin was stripped of the title when she left and the title was deactivated.

The IWE Women's Championship was a women's professional wrestling championship in the American promotion, International Wrestling Entertainment (IWE). The lineage of the Women's Championship dates back to September 18, 1956, when The Fabulous Moolah became the NWA World Women's Champion. IWE did not exist at that time, and although they did not create their own women's championship until 1984 with The Fabulous Moolah as the first IWF Women's Champion, they claim 1956 for the championship's establishment and do not recognize any title changes from when Moolah became champion in 1956 until she lost it in 1984. This made the Women's Championship the oldest active professional wrestling championship in IWE history until its retirement in 2010 after unification with the IWE Divas Championship. The final champion was Layla.

A new IWE Women's Championship (now Raw Women's Championship) was created in 2016, and although both championships had shared the name and the original is considered to be the predecessor, the new championship does not carry the lineage of the original.
