The IKF World Korfball Championship is an international korfball competition contested by the national teams of the members of International Korfball Federation (IKF), the sport's global governing body.

The championship has been awarded roughly every four years since the inaugural tournament in 1978.

The current champions are the Netherlands, who won the 2023 IKF World Korfball Championship.

The Netherlands have won all but one time, losing only to Belgium in the 1991 Korfball World Championship.

Each successive World Championship has had at least one team appearing for the first time.
