The WWE Raw Women's Championship[1] is a women's professional wrestling world championship created and promoted by the American professional wrestling promotion WWE on the Raw brand. It was introduced as the WWE Women's Championship on April 3, 2016 at WrestleMania 32 to replace the Divas Championship and has a unique title history separate from the original WWE Women's Championship. As a result of the 2016 draft, the championship became exclusive to Raw with a subsequent rename and SmackDown created the SmackDown Women's Championship as a counterpart title.

The championship is generally contested in professional wrestling matches, in which participants execute scripted finishes rather than contend in direct competition. The inaugural champion was Charlotte Flair, then known simply as Charlotte, who won the title at WrestleMania 32. Ronda Rousey is the current champion in her first reign. She won the title by defeating Alexa Bliss at SummerSlam on August 19, 2018.

Overall, there have been 14 reigns between 6 champions. Charlotte Flair is tied with Sasha Banks for the most reigns at four. Alexa Bliss' second reign is the longest at 223 days and she has the longest combined reign at 398 days. Banks' fourth reign is the shortest at 8 days (9 days as recognized by WWE). Nia Jax is the oldest champion, winning the title at the age of 33, while Banks is the youngest when she first won the title at 24 years old.
