This page is a collection of AFL Women's goalkicking records. The AFL Women's (AFLW) is Australia's national semi-professional women's Australian rules football competition. The following tables only include goals kicked in home-and-away matches and finals; goals kicked in practice matches are excluded from the totals.

2022 AFL Women's season 6 was the sixth season of the AFL Women's (AFLW) competition, the highest-level senior women's Australian rules football competition in Australia. The season was the last to feature 14 clubs, ran from 7 January until 9 April 2022, and comprised a ten-game home-and-away season, followed by a finals series featuring the top six clubs. It was the first of two seasons to take place in the 2022 calendar year, with the competition's seventh season held from August to November.

The 2021 season was the Western Bulldogs's fifth season in the AFL Women's (AFLW) competition. Nathan Burke was the team's coach for the second consecutive season, and Ellie Blackburn was the team's captain for the third consecutive season. The Western Bulldogs finished the home-and-away season eighth on the ladder and with a win–loss record of 5–4, meaning they missed out on qualifying for finals.
