The 1992 Women's Olympic Volleyball Tournament was the eighth edition of the event, organised by the world's governing body, the FIVB in conjunction with the International Olympic Committee. The competition in Barcelona, Spain was held from July 29 to August 8, 1992 in three different venues in the city: the Palau d'Esports, the Pavelló de la Vall d'Hebron and the Palau Sant Jordi, where the semi-finals and finals were played.

1 The USSR qualified automatically as the 1988 Women's Olympic Volleyball Tournament Champions, but as the USSR collapsed in 1991, they were replaced by the Olympic flag.svg Unified Team.
2 An African team was invited to participate in this edition, but no African teams entered, so a World Qualifier was held in Japan.  Japan won the tournament and secured the final berth.
