The Portugal women's national beach soccer team represents Portugal in international women's beach soccer competitions and is controlled by the FPF, the governing body for football in Portugal.

A team representing Portugal first materialised for a friendly match versus Switzerland in 2010. [2] [3] However, the first widely recognised participation of the team was in a three-team exhibition tournament in 2014, [4] [5] and it's first competitive matches occurred in 2016 at the Euro Beach Soccer Cup. Development accelerated following the appointment of Alan Cavalcanti as head coach in 2021; [6] the team became European champions for the first time as winners of the 2025 Euro Beach Soccer League.
