2022-23 Women's Euro Hockey Tour

The 2022–23 Women’s Euro Hockey Tour was the third season of the Women's Euro Hockey Tour (EHT) since the tournament season format was revised and expanded in 2018. It followed the 2019-20 Women's Euro Hockey Tour, as the 2020–21 and 2021–22 instances of the international ice hockey tournament season were not held due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 
The season comprised three five-nation tournaments, hosted in Finland, Sweden, and Germany, respectively. The women’s national teams of Czechia, Finland, Germany, Sweden, and Switzerland participated in every tournament. The Russian national team was not invited to participate pursuant to the suspension of Russian teams from participation in all IIHF competitions and events on 1 March 2022 in response to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.
