Canada's women's national softball team represents Canada in international softball. They are overseen by Softball Canada, the governing body of softball in Canada.

They are one of the top-ranked softball teams in the world.

The team won gold at the 1983 Pan American Games in Caracas and the 2015 Pan American Games in Toronto. The team won bronze at the 2018 World Championship.
