The Ladies Professional Wrestling Association (LPWA) was an all-female wrestling promotion which operated in the early 1990s (c. 1989-1992).

It was considered a successor to such women's promotions as GLOW, but it differed in that, while GLOW slanted more toward WWF-style sports entertainment (with wrestling playing a secondary role to music video clips and comedy skits), the LPWA treated its product seriously and put its primary emphasis on in-ring athletics. Jim Cornette was notable for being a color commentator as he always carried his infamous tennis racket with him.

The LPWA held its first and only pay-per-view, Super Ladies Showdown, on February 23, 1992 before closing down operations shortly after.
