The 2022–23 Women's LEN Euro Cup is the 24th edition of the European second-tier tournament for women's water polo clubs. Sixteen teams participated in the competition. Ethnikos Piraeus is the defending champion.

Revamp

Starting this season, the tournament was renamed the LEN Women's Euro Cup. The competition also included an expanded format, featuring 16 clubs, rather than the old final four format between the four losing Champions League quarterfinalists. The new format was created to give more club opportunities in women's water polo.^[1]
