The USSR women's national handball team was the national women's handball team of the Soviet Union. It was considered one of the strongest national teams in the world, and won 2 Olympic gold medals and 3 world championships. Together with their successor, Russia, they are the only women's team to have won three successive World Championships (Denmarks men's team equalled the record in 2023).

The Soviet Handball Federation joined IHF in 1958, and in 1962 the women's national team was founded. Their first major international tournament was the 1962 World Women's Handball Championship, where they finished 6th.^[1]

The last major international tournament for the Soviet Union was the 1992 Olympics, where they competed as the Unified team.^[2]
