List of Indian Women's League hat-tricks

Since the inception of the women's football league competition in India, the Indian Women's League (IWL) in October 2016, 31 players have scored a hat-trick (3 goals or more in a single match). Till 16 March 2025, 72 hat-tricks were scored in the IWL. The first player to achieve the feat was Sasmita Malik of India who scored three times for Rising Students in a 6–1 victory over Aizawl.
Sabitra Bhandari of Nepal scored the most number of hat-tricks as a foreigner in the history of IWL. She achieved the feat 10 times in three seasons. Bala Devi scored the most number of hat-tricks as an Indian in the history of IWL. She achieved the feat 10 times in five seasons. Bhandari, Devi and Apurna Narzary are the only players to have scored multiple hat-tricks in a single match, with Bala Devi having achieved this rare feat twice. She first achieved it while scoring 7 goals for Manipur Police in a 10−0 victory over SAI-STC Cuttack and then achieved the feat again while scoring 6 goals for Manipur Police in a 10−0 victory over Bangalore United. She scored her first three goals at the 3rd, 15th and 16th minutes of the match, thus making her the fastest hat-trick scorer of IWL.
The first non-Indian player to have scored a hat-trick in the IWL was Fazila Ikwaput of Uganda. She scored the hat-trick for Gokulam Kerala in a 6–1 win against Indira Gandhi AS&E. Sabitra Bhandari, Elshaddai Acheampong and Fazila Ikwaput are the only non-Indian players to have scored multiple hat-tricks in the IWL. Till date, players scored 23 hat-tricks for Gokulam Kerala, the most for a single club, where as East Bengal and Mata Rukmani conceded 6 hat-tricks each, the most by any club.
