The 2022 IIHF World Women's U18 Championship Division II was an international under-18 women's ice hockey tournament organized by the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF). The tournament represented the fourth tier of competition at the 2022 IIHF World Women's U18 Championship. The tournament was played on the two ice rinks at the Zeytinburnu Buz Adası (called 'Arena Park' in IIHF documents) in the Zeytinburnu district of Istanbul, Turkey. Originally scheduled to be held from 21 to 27 January 2022, it was rescheduled due to the COVID-19 pandemic and was played from 27 June to 5 July 2022.[1][2][3][4]

Spain women's national under-18 ice hockey team won the tournament and were promoted to the 2023 Division I Group B. With increased registration for 2023, Division II was expanded into two tournaments, meaning that Kazakhstan and Iceland, the respective eighth and ninth place teams in 2022, were effectively relegated to the 2023 Division II Group B.
