List of England women's national football team hat-tricks

Since the first recognised match in November 1972, there have been 38 hat-tricks scored, by 22 footballers, for the England women's national football team. The first player to score a hat-trick in a recognised match was Pat Firth, who did so days after turning sixteen on 23 June 1973, to remain England's youngest hat-trick scorer. ^{[1] [2]} The first players to score a hat-trick after the Football Association formally incorporated women's football were Marieanne Spacey and Karen Walker, who both achieved the feat in England's 10–0 victory on 25 September 1993. ^[3]

No England players have scored a hat-trick on their only international appearance, but two players have scored for England only through claimed hat-tricks: Danielle Carter, with two hat-tricks in consecutive appearances, ^[4] and Gemma Davison, though the third of her goals was officially recorded as an own goal for the opposing team. ^{[5] [6]} England have never lost a match in which they have scored a hat-trick.
