Introduction: Crises and disasters are unavoidable situations at any time, with destructive effects which lead to the inability of the community to provide health care needs. Considering the importance of reproductive health as well as maternal and infant health and the need for midwives, this study is a review of the important role of midwives in reproductive health in crises and disasters. Methods: In this study, the articles indexed in databases: Magiran, PubMed, Google Scholar, and Scopus were studied from 2010 to 2020. The vocabularies: crises and disasters, reproductive health, COVID-19, midwives, and other related words were searched and reviews were conducted on 45 articles. Results: The main challenges in the crises and disasters are lack of services and insufficient access to healthcare and reproductive services, which causes many problems for women. By providing reproductive health care in disaster areas, midwives can have a significant role in the safety and health of women and their families. The self-efficacy of midwives in providing reproductive health services in crises has been assessed at a moderate level. Conclusion: Providing proper and timely provision reproductive health services in disasters is very important and it is necessary to consider preparations for establishing supervisory systems for the women. Therefore, by providing occupational, physical, and psychological support, as well as developing the necessary policies to take retraining and clinical training courses for students and midwifery staff, they can be prepared to deal with crises and challenges.
