The 1962 World Women's Handball Championship was the second Women's Handball World Championship. It took place in Romania in 1962.[2]

As five years earlier, the competition was played with only seven players on the field, outdoor,[3] on clay, in broad daylight and in two 20-minutes half-times.[4] For the first time a non-European team, namely Japan, entered the competition.
