The Argentina women's national football team represents Argentina in international women's football.

As with most Spanish-speaking countries in the Americas, and in opposition to the liberal attitudes of the United States, Canada and to some extent Brazil (which are recognized women's football powerhouses), the Argentine women usually play in the large shadow of the men, in terms of play development and fan support; in most of Latin America the sport considered most popular among women is volleyball, whether on courts or on the beach.

The Argentine women's standing within CONMEBOL parallels their male counterparts in being considered as Brazil's rivals at the top, due to the better development of the game in both countries.

On November 26, 2006, in the finals of the 2006 Sudamericano Femenino, Argentina beat Brazil for the first time ever, 2-0, to take the title.
