PEC Zwolle Vrouwen[1] is a Dutch women's football team from Zwolle. The team was founded in 2010,[2] starting in the Eredivisie season 2010–11. For its first two seasons, the club worked together with Be Quick '28, another club in Zwolle. Currently they are working together with SV Zwolle [nl], which plays in the lower level Hoofdklasse.

PEC Zwolle was formerly known as FC Zwolle until 1 July 2012, when the KNVB approved the new name.[3]

PEC Zwolle also played in the BeNe League during all three years the league operated.[4]

The club's highest finish was 4th in the 2017—18 season, when it was led by top scorer Babiche Roof.[5] Roof was named Player of the Year in 2018 by GOAL! Magazine.[6] In 2019, the club reached its only KNVB Women's Cup final, ultimately losing to AFC Ajax.
