Excelsior Rotterdam is a Dutch women's football team from Rotterdam which competes in the Vrouwen Eredivisie, the top women's league in the Netherlands.

Established in 2017 as a result of a three seasons partnership between professional club Excelsior Rotterdam and amateur club BVV Barendrecht to create a women's team from the Rotterdam area.[2] That relationship lasted three years, after which Excelsior solely operated the club.[3][4]

The team host its matches at Van Donge & De Roo Stadion. It previously used Barendrecht's facilities for matches and training.

The club has finished in last place in the Eredivisie in all but two of its seasons, eking out second-to-last place finishes in 2018–19 and 2020–21. It has twice reached the semifinals of the KNVB Women's Cup.
