The Qatar women's national cricket team represents the country of Qatar in international women's cricket. The team is organised by the Qatar Cricket Association, which has been a member of the International Cricket Council (ICC) since 1999.

Qatar made its international debut at the 2009 ACC Women's Twenty20 Championship in Malaysia.[5] The team won only a single match in the group stage, against Iran,[6] and were eventually ranked eleventh after defeating Kuwait in the eleventh-place play-off.[7] Qatar did not participate in the tournament's 2011 edition, despite it being hosted by nearby Kuwait, but returned for the 2013 tournament in Thailand.[5] The team again only won a single group-stage match, against Kuwait, but this was enough to place them fourth in their group (out of six teams).[8] Qatar were easily beaten in the seventh-place play-off, however, losing to Malaysia by 36 runs.[9] In December 2014, Qatar competed in the inaugural edition of the Gulf Cricket Council (GCC) Women's Twenty20 Championship, which was also contested by Kuwait, Oman, and the United Arab Emirates.[10] The team placed last, but at the following year's tournament, which Qatar hosted, lost to the UAE in the final.[11]

In April 2018, the ICC granted full Women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) status to all its members. Therefore, all Twenty20 matches played between Qatar women and another international side after 1 July 2018 will be a full WT20I.[12] Qatar played their first matches with WT20I status in January 2020 during a triangular series against Oman and Kuwait, which was held in Doha.[13]
