Olympiacos women's volleyball is the women's volleyball department of the major Greek multi-sport club Olympiacos CFP, based in Piraeus. It was founded in 1930 and is one of the most successful volleyball clubs in Greece, having won 3 Greek Championships, a record 6 Greek Cups and 3 Doubles. They play their games at the 3,000-seat Melina Mercouri Hall in Piraeus.

In the 2013 A1 finals, Olympiacos defeated AEK Athens, with 3 wins and 2 losses, thereby winning the Greek Championship for the first time in their history.[1] AEK started the finals with a 2–0 lead (due to the final standings of the regular season), but Olympiacos managed to win three consecutive games (two of them being away games) to secure the title.
