The Bhutan women's national cricket team represents the country of Bhutan in international women's cricket. The team is organised by the Bhutan Cricket Council Board, which has been a member of the International Cricket Council (ICC) since 2001.

Bhutan made its international debut at the 2009 ACC Women's Twenty20 Championship in Malaysia.[1] The team won its first match against Qatar (another international debutant) by 42 runs,[2] but lost its four other group-stage games.[3] However, in the ninth-place play-off against Oman, Bhutan won by 101 runs, and consequently finished the tournament ranked ninth out of twelve teams.[4] At the tournament's 2011 edition, Bhutan again won only a single group-stage game, against Oman, and were defeated by Kuwait in the seventh-place play-off.[5] The team returned to international competition at the 2013 ACC Women's Championship, where matches were played over 25 overs. In the group stage, Bhutan defeated both Malaysia and the United Arab Emirates, finished third.[6] They went on to narrowly defeat Iran in the fifth-place play-off.[7] Both Bhutan and Iran qualified for the 2014 ACC Women's Premier competition as a result of finishing in the top six teams.[8]
