The Arizona Women's Hall of Fame recognizes women natives or residents of the U.S. state of Arizona for their significant achievements or statewide contributions. In 1979,the office of Governor Bruce Babbitt worked with the Arizona Women's Commission to create the Hall of Fame. The first inductees were in October 1981. During its first decade,the Hall of Fame was overseen by the Arizona Historical Society and the Arizona Department of Library,Archives and Public Records. A steering committee would each year select a varying number of women to be inducted.

Inductions finally resumed in 2002,when the Hall of Fame has only inducted new honorees every two years. The award returned to being annual in 2018.
