The English women's football champions are the winners of the highest league in English women's football, which since 2011 is the Women's Super League.

Women's football was effectively banned in England between 1921 and 1969, when the Football Association blocked women's teams from playing on FA-affiliated grounds, claiming football was damaging to women's bodies. The ban was only lifted in practice with the founding of the Women's Football Association. The FA itself took two more years to officially lift the ban in 1971, under pressure from UEFA, the same year that the WFA organized the first version of what would become the Women's FA Cup.
