The Canada women's national futsal team (French: Équipe du Canada de futsal féminin) represents Canada in international futsal competitions, and is overseen by the Canadian Soccer Association.

Brazil and Canada's women's futsal national teams in a friendly match in Colombia after both were eliminated from the 2013 AMF Futsal Women's World Cup

After establishing its first local women's championship in April 2023,[2] the Canadian Soccer Association formed its first official women's national futsal team under its governance in January 2025 and appointed Alexandre Da Rocha as the team's first Head Coach.[3] Before establishing this FIFA-affiliated team, Canada had an AMF-affiliated women's futsal team that competed in the AMF Futsal World Cup.[4] The team achieved its best result as runners-up in the 2022 edition.[5]

In the semi-final against Mexico, the Canadian team was trailing 3–0 at half-time, then staged a comeback to level the score at 4–4 by full-time, then winning in a penalty shootout to secure their first qualification for a FIFA Futsal Women's World Cup, set to be held in the Philippines.[6]

Canada faced Panama in the final winning 8–2 to become the inaugural champions of the competition.[7][8]
