Castlebar Celtic W.F.C. (Irish: Cumann Peile Caisleán an Bharraigh Ceiltigh) is an Irish association football club based in Castlebar, County Mayo. The club is the women's section of Castlebar Celtic and has entered teams in the Women's National League, the Mayo Women's Football League and the FAI Women's Cup.
In 2011–12, together with Peamount United, Cork Women's F.C., Raheny United, Shamrock Rovers and Wexford Youths, Castlebar Celtic became founder members of the Women's National League. On 18 November 2012 Castlebar Celtic's manager, Jeremy Dee, died in a car crash while travelling to a league match against Shamrock Rovers. Dee was described as "the real driving force behind our women's team" by club secretary Michael O'Dwyer. He was also a leading advocate of women's association football in both County Mayo and Ireland. While playing in the league, Celtic reached three cup finals. In 2013 they played in WNL Cup final, but lost 6–3 to Peamount United. Later in the same year they reached the FAI Women's Cup final but lost 3–2 after extra-time to Raheny United. In 2014 they were WNL Cup finalists again but were beaten 3–0 by Wexford Youths.
