The 2022 Women's EuroHockey Junior Championship was the 20th edition of the Women's EuroHockey Junior Championship, the biennial international women's under-21 field hockey championship of Europe organised by the European Hockey Federation. The top five teams will qualify for the 2023 Women's FIH Hockey Junior World Cup.^[1]

It was held alongside the men's tournament in Ghent, Belgium from 24 to 30 July 2022. The tournament was originally scheduled to be held in Wavre but a venue change was required due to the initial venue not being ready in time due to flooding.^[2]

Spain were the defending champions but were eliminated in the group stage. Germany won their ninth title by defeating the hosts Belgium 4–3 in a shoot-out after the match finished 1–1. The Netherlands won the bronze medal by defeating England 2–1.^[3]
