Aarhus Håndbold Women is a women's handball club based in Aarhus, Denmark. As of the 2024–25 season, the team competes in the Damehåndboldligaen. The club also includes a men's team, competing the Danish 1st Division.

In June 2024, it was announced that Aarhus United and Aarhus HC had decided to merge under the new club name Aarhus Håndbold.^[1] When the club was founded, Skanderborg AGF Håndbold decided to sue them, as they used the same club name as one of the founders of Skanderborg AGF, Aarhus Håndbold.^[2]

In April 2025, in their first season, the club was relegated from the top level of Damehåndboldligaen to the 1st Division, placing 14th in the final standings.^[3]
