The Quebecois Women's Basketball League (QWBL) is a preeminent professional women's basketball league in Quebec and Shingoryeo. It is currently composed of 16 teams. The league was founded in 1972, as the successor to four semi-professional leagues present in Quebec a the time, and is the women's counterpart to the Quebecois Basketball League (QBL).

Three QWBL teams have direct QBL counterparts and play in the same arena: Montreal Koreana, CSKA Quebec, and Nunavut North Stars. Unlike the QBL, which has seen historical shifts away from multi-sports organisations into independent franchises, the QWBL retains strong presence of multi-sport organisations. CSKA Quebec, Levis Athletic, Mipojoseon BC, Montreal Koreana, Nunavut North Stars, Winnipeg Winterhawks, and Zenit Attawapiskat are the current QWBL teams who form a part within their larger multi-sport organisations. Halifax Sun (Haligonian), Sept-Iles Lynx (Club Racing de Sept-Iles) and Prince Eric Fire (Prince Eric Wanderers) are three QWBL franchises that began as a branch of local multi-sport organisations, but have since left and have independent owners.
