DamEttan (called Division 1, 2007–2015) is the second-highest women's ice hockey league in Sweden, below the SDHL and above Damtvåan. Beginning with the first official women's ice hockey Swedish Championship in 1988, the league served as the highest division for women's ice hockey and the winner of its playoffs was named Swedish Champion. During the 2007–08 season, the best Division 1 teams qualified for a newly created premier league, the Riksserien (renamed SDHL in 2016), which made Division 1 the second-tier league.

The league is split into four geographical divisions: DamEttan Södra (South), DamEttan Norra (North), DamEttan Östra (East), and DamEttan Västra (West). The DamEttan play-offs feature the top teams from each division, competing against each other for a chance to gain promotion to the SDHL.
