List of current AFL Women's coaches

This list includes the appointment date and performance record of current AFL Women's senior coaches. The league consists of women's teams from eight of the Australian Football League (AFL) clubs, with every state, which has an AFL team, featuring at least one AFL Women's team. In addition to Adelaide having a joint licence with AFL Northern Territory, whereby some of the team's players reside in the Northern Territory. The league is set to expand in 2019 and 2020 with Geelong and North Melbourne entering the league in 2019, and Gold Coast, Richmond, St Kilda and West Coast entering in 2020.

Matthew Clarke is the incumbent premiership coach when he coached Adelaide to the 2019 premiership.

Craig Starcevich, the senior coach of the Brisbane Lions since June 2016, was the first coach to be appointed in the league. Bec Goddard, the senior coach of the Adelaide Football Club since August 2016, won the inaugural premiership in the 2017 season. Only one club has changed coaches after the inaugural season, with the Greater Western Sydney Giants appointing Alan McConnell in July 2017.
