The Tianjin Women's Federation (, abbreviated TJWF) is a mass organization for women in Tianjin, China. It is under the leadership of the Tianjin Municipal Committee of the Chinese Communist Party and serves as a local branch of the All-China Women's Federation. Its highest authority is the Tianjin Women's Congress, while its standing body is the Executive Committee, led by the Standing Committee.

The federation represents and safeguards women's rights and interests, promotes gender equality, and supports the overall development of women in Tianjin.

History

After the liberation of Tianjin in 1949, women from across the city actively participated in social activities. In March 1949, preparations began for the establishment of the Tianjin Democratic Women's Federation. On November 5, 1949, the federation was officially founded under this name, and from November 5 to November 7 the first Tianjin Women's Congress was held.

In 1957, it was renamed the Tianjin Women's Federation. On December 6, 1967, its operations were suspended during the Cultural Revolution. In 1973, following the issuance of the CPC Central Committee document (Zhongfa [1973] No. 23), the federation was restored, and the Tianjin Women's Congress was convened to resume regular work.

Between November 1949 and August 1983, seven congresses were held eight times. In September 2018, the 14th Tianjin Women's Congress took place, followed by the 15th Congress in September 2023.
