The NAIA women's beach volleyball invitational is an annual invitational tournament played to determine the national champion of women's collegiate beach volleyball amongst members of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics. The tournament is officially called an "invitational" rather than a "championship" because women's beach volleyball has not yet met the NAIA's requirements to be considered a varsity or championship sport.[1]

The inaugural tournament was held in 2022.

The reigning national champions are Southern Oregon, who won its first invitational title in 2026.
