List of FIFA Women's World Cup hat-tricks

This is a list of all hat-tricks scored during FIFA Women's World Cups; that is, the occasions when a footballer has scored three or more goals in a single football World Cup match (not including FIFA Women's World Cup qualification matches). So far, 27 hat-tricks have been scored in over 270 matches in the 9 editions of the World Cup tournament. As FIFA is the governing body of association football, official hat-tricks are only noted when FIFA recognises that at least three goals were scored by one player in one match.

Alex Morgan of the United States scored a joint-record 5 goals in a record 13–0 win against Thailand.

The first hat-trick was scored by Carolina Morace of Italy, playing against Chinese Taipei in the 1991 FIFA Women's World Cup; the most recent (as of 2 August 2023) was by Kadidiatou Diani of France, playing against Panama in the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup.

The record number of hat-tricks in a single World Cup tournament is six, which occurred during the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup in Canada, coinciding with the expansion of the tournament to 24 teams from 16.
