Kishi Denise Núñez (born 17 May 2006) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a forward for Campeonato Femenino club Boca Juniors and the Argentina women's national team.
Argentinos Juniors
Núñez made her top-flight debut with Argentinos Juniors, in the Primera B, on 22 August 2021.[1] She scored thirty goals for El Bicho, becoming the top scorer in their history, surpassing Agustina Occhiuzzi and Luana Mendizábal.[2]

Núñez was also part of the squad that played in the 2022 Copa Libertadores Femenina, scoring a goal against the Brazilian team Corinthians, who were the reigning champions, thus being key in the team's 2-1 victory. Boca Juniors would later lose in the final, but would still achieve a historic performance for an Argentine team, with Núñez herself being a very important asset.[4]
