The ROH Women's World Championship is a women's professional wrestling world championship created and promoted by the American promotion Ring of Honor (ROH). Established on January 1, 2020, the inaugural champion was Rok-C. In addition to being in ROH, the championship is also occasionally defended on All Elite Wrestling's (AEW) programs, as AEW and ROH are both owned by Tony Khan. The current champion is Athena, who is in her first reign, which is the longest reign in the title's history. She won the title by defeating Mercedes Martinez at Final Battle on December 10, 2022.

On January 1, 2020, the ROH Women of Honor World Championship was deactivated when the last champion Kelly Klein was stripped of the championship after ROH didn't renew her contract. A new tournament to crown the inaugural ROH Women's World Champion was set to start on April 24 of that year at Quest for Gold, however, ROH postponed all future events due to the COVID-19 pandemic. (The title replaced the ROH Women of Honor World Title in the ROH Women of Honor division.)

On March 26, 2021, at ROH 19th Anniversary Show, ROH Board of Directors member Maria Kanellis-Bennett announced a tournament to crown a new ROH Women's World Champion. On July 11, at Best in the World, the tournament bracket and the championship itself were revealed.

On September 12, 2021 Rok-C defeated Miranda Alize via pinfall at the ROH pay-per-view Death Before Dishonor XVIII, the culmination of a 15-woman singles elimination tournament to become the inaugural ROH Women's World Championship holder.

On October 27, 2021, Ring of Honor announced that it would go on a hiatus after Final Battle in December, with a return tentatively scheduled for April 2022. All personnel would also be released from their contracts as part of plans to "reimagine" the company as a "fan-focused product". After Final Battle, several ROH wrestlers began to appear on other promotions and defended the titles. Rok-C defended the title against Impact Wrestling's Deonna Purrazzo during a television taping. However, Rok-C was defeated and lost the title to Purrazzo. (Deonna Purrazzo also wrestled in the ROH Women of Honor division throughout years 2015 to 2018 familiar with it.)

In early 2022, during the hiatus, then-ROH Women's World Champion Purrazzo was booked for the Multiverse of Matches at WrestleCon, which happened to be when the Supercard of Honor XV event was later scheduled for April 1, 2022. Purrazzo was unable to attend the latter event. At Supercard of Honor XV, Mercedes Martinez defeated Willow Nightingale to become the Interim ROH Women's World Champion and earned the opportunity to face lineal champion Purrazzo in a unification match at a later date. On the May 4, 2022, episode of Dynamite, Martinez defeated Purrazzo to become the undisputed ROH Women's World Champion. (Prior Mercedes Martinez was also familiar with the ROH Women's division having her first run wrestling in the division throughout years 2006 to 2007 making her a veteran.)

On September 15, 2024 Athena became the longest reigning ROH women's champion & ROH title holder of all time as a woman surpassing Samoa Joe's reign as ROH World Champion at 645 days by holding the ROH Women's World Championship for 646 days. (Prior to her reign Athena also wrestled in the Women of Honor division throughout years 2013 to 2015.)

In January 2025 the title was defended in Japan at World Wonder Ring Stardom by Athena who retained the title while there.
