The Great Britain women's national field hockey team represents part of the United Kingdom in international field hockey tournaments such as the Summer Olympics.

In most other competitions, including the Women's Hockey World Cup, the Commonwealth Games and some editions of the Hockey Champions Trophy, three of the home nations compete in their own right: England and Scotland and Wales, while Northern Ireland is represented as part of the all-Ireland team.[1][2]

The team has won gold once and bronze on three occasions at the Summer Olympics, and silver once in the Champions Trophy.
