The Women's National Commission (WNC) was established in July 1969 on the merger of two previous predecessor bodies (the Woman's Consultative Council, and the Women's Consultative Committee) as the official and independent advisory body whose aim was to ensure that the informed opinions and views of women were given due weight in the deliberations of the UK government and in matters of public interest. The WNC was an umbrella organisation representing women and women's organisations in England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.

From October 2007 the WNC became an advisory Non Departmental Public Body of the Government Equalities Office (GEO), and on 31 December 2010 the WNC was wound up and its continuing functions were transferred to the GEO.
