The United States women's national flag football team represents the United States in women's international flag football matches. The sport is governed by USA Football. In 2023, the International Federation of American Football (IFAF) ranked the United States women's team 1st worldwide.

The Head Coach is Saaid Mortazavi with Mary Kate Bula as assistant coach.

In 2008, the women competed in the IFAF Flag Football World Championship where they finished fourth. They then won silver in 2010, 2012, and 2014. They lost to Canada twice and Mexico once. In the 2018 finals they defeated Panama 27–12 to win gold. Then the team defeated Mexico, winning the 2021 IFAF Women's Flag Football World Championship. At the 2023 Americas Championship both the women's and men's teams defeated Mexico to win gold.

During the 2022 World Games, the team again went to the finals with Mexico. This time they won silver with a score of 39–6. Quarterback Vanita Krouch was invited to an NFL game to honor the country's success at the games and to promote flag football.
