The A-League Women Young Footballer of the Year is an annual association football award presented to a player in the Australian A-League Women.

The W-League was established in 2008 as the top tier of women's football in Australia. The award is given to a top-performing young player over the regular season (not including the finals series). The inaugural award was shared by Elise Kellond-Knight of Brisbane Roar and Ellyse Perry of Canberra United.

Ellie Carpenter has won the award three times. Steph Catley won the award twice. Pia Vlok is the first non-Australian to win the award.
