The 2021 IIHF Women's World Championship Division II was scheduled to be two international ice hockey tournaments organized by the International Ice Hockey Federation. The Division II Group A tournament would have been held in Jaca, Spain, from 10 to 16 April 2021 and the Division II Group B tournament in Zagreb, Croatia, from 7 to 13 March 2021.[1]

In 2020, Australia was initially promoted but after Division II Group A was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, they remain in Division II Group B.[2][3]

On 18 November 2020, both tournaments were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[4]
