Late Night Woman's Hour (LNWH) is a late night edition of the long-running, BBC Radio 4 programme Woman's Hour. It started in 2015 with a one month pilot run, scheduled twice weekly on Thursday and Friday at 11 pm for one hour.


 The presenters for this first run were Lauren Laverne and Jane Garvey who led panels of five guests in discussion of a particular topic such as fan fiction or lust.


Lauren Laverne then became the permanent host when the programme started a regular schedule in 2016, being scheduled as a monthly podcast which was then broadcast on Radio 4 at 11 pm on the last Thursday of each month.


The topics discussed in the first run included the dating app, Tinder, and lying. The conversation was frank and adult, being broadcast after the watershed.


This resulted in a gaffe when one of the guests, Guardian journalist Hannah Jane Parkinson, used an expletive, for which the host apologised.Other guests have included Irma Kurtz, Kellie Maloney and Richard Herring.
