List of female gridiron football players

Main article: Women's gridiron football

Women's gridiron football (including American football and Canadian football) is a form of the sport played by women. Most leagues in the United States, such as the Women's Football Alliance, play by rules similar to men's tackle football.[1] Although women's flag football is emerging as a collegiate sport,[2] women playing gridiron football at the college level have historically joined men's teams, often (though not exclusively) as placekickers.[3]

The following is a list of some of the most notable female American football players.
