The Netherlands women's national football team represents the Netherlands in international women's football. The team played the first women's international recognized by FIFA, on 17 April 1971 against France.

The Dutch women's team once reportedly posed in the nude for a calendar, however it was taken off the market by the KNVB as it was deemed to be a disadvantage to the team when in competition due to sexual harassment.
