The Ukraine women's national football team represents Ukraine in international women's football. The team is administered by the Ukrainian Association of Football.

Before its first official tournament, the UEFA Women's Euro 1995 qualifying phase, the Ukraine women's team played at least four more friendlies all with Belarus in 1993. The very first team consisted of the following players: Tetyana Ovcharenko (goalkeeper) – Olena Mazurenko, Svitlana Balynska, Olena Chubarova, Alina Doroshchuk – Tetyana Shvets, Iryna Serhiyenko, Lyudmyla Pokotylo, Halyna Prykhodko – Tetyana Verezubova, Svitlana Frishko; and substitutes: Valentyna Ryabichenko (goalkeeper) – Inesa Titova – Yulia Bayeka, Natalia Melnychenko, Lyudmyla Protsenko – Olena Vdovyka, Tetyana Vyshnyakova, Halyna Zonova.[4]
The first (and so far only) major tournament they played in was the UEFA Women's Euro 2009 in Finland. Their most recent competition is qualification for the UEFA Women's Euro 2022.[5]
