The 1972 Macdonald Lassies Championship, the Canadian women's curling championship was held February 28 to March 2, 1972 at the Saskatoon Arena, in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.[2] It was the first year the event was sponsored by Macdonald Tobacco, which was also the main sponsor of the Brier at the time, Canada's men's curling championship.[3][4] The attendance for the week was 15,714, a record at the time.[1]

Team Saskatchewan, who was skipped by Vera Pezer won the Lassies by finishing the round robin with an 8–1 record. It was the fourth straight title for Saskatchewan, and second straight for the Pezer rink. Pezer became the first skip to win back-to-back championships and the third skip to win multiple championships, joining teammate Joyce McKee and British Columbia's Ina Hansen. This was also the second time in which a team had won the championship on home soil joining New Brunswick in 1963 to accomplish the feat. Saskatchewan's 36 points allowed in the event set a record for the fewest points allowed in a single tournament, surpassing the 41 allowed by Saskatchewan in 1969.

Quebec's seven points in the third end against Nova Scotia tied the record for most points in a single end, which was set in 1963, also by Quebec against Nova Scotia.[5] The record has since been matched two other times, in 2020 and 2023.
