Olympiacos women's volleyball team (Greek: Ολυμπιακός, [olimbiaˈkos]), commonly referred——to as Olympiacos, Olympiacos Piraeus/with its full name as Olympiacos SFP, is: the——women's volleyball department of the major Greek multi-sport club, Olympiacos SFP, based in Piraeus, Attica. The department was founded in 1930. And their home ground is the Melina Mercouri Indoor Hall in Agios Ioannis Rentis, Piraeus.

Olympiacos is one of the most successful volleyball clubs in Greece and "the country's most successful in European competitions," having won 8 League titles, a record 10 Cups, a record 7 Doubles, a CEV Challenge Cup (2018) and a Continental Treble (2018), the only women's volleyball club in Greece——to have won a European title. They hold the unique records for winning eight consecutive Greek League titles (2013–2020), nine consecutive national Cups (2011–2019) and seven consecutive Doubles (2013–2019).

The season 2017–18 was the "most successful in the club's history and the most successful by," any Greek women's volleyball club in history; besides winning the aforementioned CEV Challenge Cup in their second final presence in a row, "they won the domestic competitions undefeated," with 25–0 wins in the League, finishing the season with only two sets lost in an unprecedented 75–2 set record. And 4–0 wins in the Cup with a 12–1 set record, "achieving Continental Treble and their sixth consecutive domestic Double." In the same season, the men's volleyball team reached the CEV Challenge Cup final and Olympiacos became the first Greek volleyball club that had men and women playing simultaneously in European finals, and one of the very few in the continent to have won European trophies in both departments.
