Chelsea Randall (born 14 June 1991) is an Australian rules footballer playing for the Adelaide Football Club in the AFL Women's competition. She is one of the club's inaugural AFLW team co-captains.

Randall began playing football in the boys under-11 side at the Safety Bay Stingers.

Randall has played state league football with Swan Districts in the West Australian Women's Football League (WAFL) since 2008. She is a two-time winner of the WAWFL best and fairest award.

Randall is a three time All-Australian and has represented Western Australia at four national championships. Her first selection came at the age of 15. In 2013 she captained the state's side at that year's championships.

In 2011, she was selected as one of eight players to participate the AIS/AFL women's academy.

Randall was drafted to the Melbourne side for the 2013 women's AFL exhibition series with the third overall pick. In 2014, she was returned to Melbourne's side and was named best on ground in the series' second exhibition match of that year. She recorded fourteen marks and two goals in the match. Randall continued to play for the side through to the end of the 2016 exhibition series. In 2016, she also played matches for West Coast in the same exhibition series.

Randall was one of two marquee player signings announced by Adelaide in anticipation of the league's first season in 2017. She was named the club's inaugural AFL Women's captain in January 2017. Randall was nominated by her teammates for the AFLW Players’ Most Valuable Player Award, and was listed in the All-Australian team.

Randall won the 2017 AFLW Players' Most Courageous Award.

Off the field, Randall works at the Adelaide Football Club as a community programs officer. In addition to her work, Randall is studying to become a physical education teacher.
