Sevilla FC Femenino is a Spanish women's football team, representing Sevilla FC. It currently competes in Segunda División.

In 2004 Sevilla FC signed a collaboration with local Superliga Femenina team CD Híspalis. While remaining an independent club, Híspalis played for the next three seasons in Sevilla FC's training facilities using its name, kit and badge. The team improved significantly and in 2006 it was the runner-up of the Superliga, losing what would have been their first title to RCD Espanyol on the goal average.[1] Sevilla's Auxiliadora Jiménez was the season's top scorer.[2]

Pos Team P W D L GF GA PTS
1 RCD Espanyol 26 20 0 4 80 25 60
2 Sevilla FC 26 19 3 2 78 37 60
3 Levante UD 26 17 4 3 65 15 55

However Sevilla/Híspalis declined as fast as it emerged, and in 2007 it ended last in the table. Following the resulting relegation Sevilla FC broke with Híspalis and created their own women's team, beginning from the regional categories. In 2009 the team reached Primera Nacional, as it was then known Segunda División, but was instead promoted directly to the Superliga as RFEF decided to expand the category with women's sections of clubs from the male leagues.[3]

Sevilla played two seasons in the Superliga before being relegated.[4]
