(Türkmenistanyň Futbol federasiýasy) | Sub-confederation = CAFA (Central Asia) Swetlana Prýannikowa Mariýa Çaryýewa Laçyn Alymjanowa (1) (Alanya, Turkey; 24 February 2019) (Alanya, Turkey; 27 February 2019) The Turkmenistan women's national football team (; ) is the women's national football team of the country of Turkmenistan.

Turkmenistan made their international debut in 2019, facing Kazakhstan, a fellow Central Asian team, in a friendly match, which they lost 6–0.
History
2016–2022: fledging phase
The Turkmenistan women's national team was established in 2016, spurred by the growing popularity of women's football in Central Asia. the Football Federation appointed Kamil Mingazow as the head coach that same year. Despite the sport's under-developed status in Turkmenistan, it took them three years to make their international debut, facing Kazakhstan in a friendly match as preparation for the 2019 Turkish Women's Cup, where they suffered a 6–0 defeat. Their first-ever participation in an international tournament saw them finish at the bottom, losing all three matches - 13–0 to Romania, 11–1 to Uzbekistan, and 3–0 to Jordan, ultimately finishing eighth overall.
Turkmenistan initially entered the qualification campaign for the 2022 AFC Women's Asian Cup, which would have been their first official qualification tournament. However, they later withdrew due to travel restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Their first CAFA Women's Championship campaign was in 2022; After two draws, a 1–1 draw against Host Tajikistan where Swetlana Prýannikowa scored to secure a point for the debutants, and a goalless draw against Kyrgyzstan, the team suffered losses in their remaining two matches against Iran (4–0) and Uzbekistan (6–0), to finish fourth in the tournament.
In 2023, Turkmenistan was ready for what might have been their first-ever Olympic qualifying campaign. However, despite initially entering the qualifiers and being drawn alongside Kyrgyzstan and India, they ultimately withdrew from the competition without providing a reason.
In preparation for the upcoming competition, the team had scheduled a friendly match against a European team; Bulgaria in Sofia. However, the match was canceled due to logistical issues beyond the control of both teams.
2025: new coach
From June 1, 2025, Boris Borowik has been appointed head coach of the Turkmenistan women's national football team. In this position, he replaced Kamil Mingazov, who stood at the origins of the development of women's football in Turkmenistan. The first serious tournament for Boris Borovik's team was the 2026 Asian Cup qualifying tournament. Before the start of the tournament, the team, led by head coach Boris Borowik and his assistants Begenç Garaýew and Ýewgeniýa Spirina, held a preparatory training camp in Ashgabat.
