The 2020 Campeonato Brasileiro Feminino A-1 was the 8th season of the Campeonato Brasileiro de Futebol Feminino Série A1, the top level of women's football in Brazil, and the 4th edition in a Série A1 since its establishment in 2016. The tournament was organized by the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF).

The competition began on 8 February and was originally scheduled to end on 13 September, however due to the COVID-19 pandemic the tournament was suspended by CBF on 15 March. After several months, the tournament was resumed on 26 August and the end was rescheduled to 6 December.

In the finals, Corinthians won their second title after defeating Kindermann/Avaí 4–2 on aggregate. As champions and runners-up, Corinthians and Kindermann/Avaí qualified for the Copa Libertadores Femenina, while the bottom four teams in the group stage, Audax, Iranduba, Ponte Preta, and Vitória, were relegated to Campeonato Brasileiro de Futebol Feminino Série A2. Ferroviária were the defending champions, but they were eliminated in the quarter-finals.

In the group stage, each team played once against the other fifteen teams. Top eight teams qualified for the final stages. Quarter-finals, semi-finals and finals were played on a home-and-away two-legged basis.
