The 2006 Women's Hockey World Cup Qualifier was the 11th edition of the qualification tournament for the Women's Hockey World Cup field hockey championship. It was held from 25 April to 6 May 2006 in Rome, Italy. The five highest placed teams would earn a berth to play in the 2006 Women's Hockey World Cup, to be held in Madrid, Spain.
England won the tournament after defeating South Korea 2–1 in the final. Along with Japan, the United States and China, these five teams qualified for the World Cup.
Except for Africa, all other four confederations received quotas for teams to participate allocated by the International Hockey Federation based upon the FIH World Rankings. Those teams participated at their respective continental championships but could not qualify through it, and they received the chance to qualify through this tournament based on the final ranking at each competition.
