Faye Katherine Dancer (April 24, 1925 – May 22, 2002) was a center fielder who played from 1944 through 1950 for three different teams of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. Listed at 5 ft 6 in (1.68 m), 145 lb., she batted and threw right-handed.

The All-American Girls Professional Baseball League flourished in the 1940s when the Major Leagues went on hold as men went to war, yet it was not really a well known fact until the 1992 film A League of Their Own, directed by Penny Marshall and starred by Geena Davis, Tom Hanks, Madonna, Lori Petty and Rosie O'Donnell, that brought many of the real players began to earn a rebirth of celebrity with the first season of the AAGPBL.

Born in 1925 in Santa Monica, California, Faye Dancer was the third of four children into the family of James and Olive (née Pope) Dancer. Her father worked as an inspector for the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power. He later became an appliance store owner and sponsored a men's local softball team for a long time. While attending Santa Monica High School, the young Dancer played softball for a girls' team called the Dr Peppers, which was sponsored by the historic soft drink company. She attended University High School in West Los Angeles, where she broke an all-city basketball record after shooting 42 baskets in just one minute. She also ran an obstacle course in 9.4 seconds and fast-walked the half mile in 2 minutes and 42 seconds, and enjoyed kicking balls with the boys.
