The 2020 IIHF Women's World Championship Division II was scheduled to be two international ice hockey tournaments organised by the International Ice Hockey Federation, but only one tournament was played.

The Division II Group A tournament would have been played in Granada, Spain, from 29 March to 4 April 2020.[1] On 2 March 2020, this tournament was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2] The Division II Group B tournament was played in Akureyri, Iceland, from 23 to 29 February 2020.[3]

Australia won the Division II Group B tournament and were originally promoted, while Ukraine were relegated.[4] However, that promotion was rescinded due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
