2021–22 NCAA Division I women's ice hockey season

The 2021–22 NCAA Division I women's ice hockey season began in September 2021 and ended with the 2022 NCAA National Collegiate Women's Ice Hockey Tournament's championship game at Pegula Ice Arena in State College, Pennsylvania on March 20, 2022.

===Realignment===
In 2019 the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, an NCAA Division III league, took the unprecedented step of removing St. Thomas from its membership because of concerns about "athletic competitive parity." Because the removal affected all sports and was effective at the end of the 2020–21 season, St. Thomas had time to decide what it would do next. The women's ice hockey program was given the green light to jump directly to the Division I level in July 2020. The women's hockey team joined the WCHA for the 2021–22 season.
On May 26, 2021, Robert Morris announced that it was dropping both men's and women's hockey effective immediately.
