The Scottish Women's Football Annual Awards is an award ceremony hosted by Scottish Women's Football (SWF), the governing body for women's association football in Scotland. The inaugural award ceremony, sponsored by The Scottish Sun, took place in 2009 at Hampden Park.
The 2018 edition, which was the first since 2013, was sponsored by MG Alba and it was held at the Hilton Glasgow Hotel; the 2019 awards were also held in Glasgow, at the nearby Marriott Hotel. The 2020 season was cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic, which also caused the 2021 awards to be a virtual event (presented from Tynecastle Park). The awards returned to the Hilton Glasgow in 2022, and Hampden Park was the venue in 2023, sponsored by ScottishPower.

Scottish Women's Player of the Month
Clubs in every senior SWPL / SWFL division in Scottish football voted for their player of the match. PSL Team Sports sponsored the Player of the Month awards. At the end of the month, the player with the most votes in each division received a branded match football to mark their achievement. The winners also received a £50 voucher from PSL Team Sports for their club. The Player of the Month award winners for season 2013 made up the shortlist for the Divisional Awards at the 2013 SWF Player of the Year Awards.
