The W-League Golden Boot is an annual football (soccer) award presented to the leading goalscorer in the Australian A-League Women.

Contents

The W-League was established in 2008 as the top tier of women's football in Australia. The award is given to the top-scorer over the regular season (not including the finals series). The inaugural award was won by Leena Khamis of Sydney FC, who also scored the fewest to win with seven.

Michelle Heyman, Kate Gill and Sam Kerr have each won the award twice. England's Jodie Taylor was the first non-Australian to have won the award.
