For the parent multi-sport club, see Olympiacos CFP.

The Olympiacos women's basketball team is the women's basketball department of the major Greek multi-sport club Olympiacos CFP, based in Piraeus. The department was initially founded in 1947, being one of the best women's basketball clubs in Greece during the 1950s and the early 1960s, when they won 3 Women's Division Center Championships (1956, 1958, 1959), which was the most important competition of Greek women's basketball at the time (until 1967–68 when the Greek Women's Basketball League was officially organized).^[1] The department was dissolved in the mid-1960s and after a long period of inactivity, it was reorganized in 2015.^[2][3][4][5]
