Chesterfield Football Club Women is an English women's football club based in Chesterfield, Derbyshire. The club currently play in the F.A. Women's National League Division One Midlands.

History

The club was formed in 2022 after a previous team of the same name affiliated with Chesterfield F.C., reverted back to their previous name of Chesterfield Ladies FC and continued as an independent team.[1]

In their first season, they finished in second place in the Sheffield & Hallamshire Women's Football League and won promotion to the North East Regional Women's Football League.

For the 2025/26 season, Chesterfield FC Women and Chesterfield Ladies FC were both combined under the affiliation of Chesterfield F.C., the players forming a new Chesterfield FC Women's first team and development team, and also forming the basis of the Chesterfield FC Community Trust Team.[2]
