The Welsh Netball Association (Welsh: Cymdeithas Bêl-Rwyd Cymru) (founded 1945) (WNA) is the national governing body for netball in Wales. The WNA is responsible for national championships, Welsh squad selection, international matches, the training and development of players, coaches and umpires and for the Sport Wales National Centre Netball Academy, Cardiff.

The Welsh Netball Association was a founder member of the International Federation of Netball Associations (IFNA)—which governs world netball—in 1960. Netball is played in over fifty countries. Wales' current IFNA world ranking is eighth (last updated 17 May 2015).

International competitions in which Wales compete include the European Championships, the Commonwealth Games and the Netball World Championships. Wales were European Champions in 2001. The World Youth Netball Championship was held in Cardiff in July 2000.

The Welsh Netball Association is based in the Sport Wales National Centre, Sophia Gardens, Cardiff.
