S.s.d. a r.l. Fiorentina Women's F.C. is an Italian women's football club from Florence, which is the women's section of ACF Fiorentina. It was founded in 2015 after ACF Fiorentina bought out A.C.F. Firenze, an independent club who had participated in Serie A until 2014–15.

Upon its foundation Fiorentina Women's FC was the only women's club in Italy to have the backing of a professional male club. They quickly signed several leading players including veteran Patrizia Panico. In their first year of existence they finished the league season in third place, then won the league in 2016–17. The title was secured with a 2–0 win over U.P.C. Tavagnacco at the Stadio Artemio Franchi before 7,500 supporters.
