Fabienne Valérie Humm (born 20 December 1986) is a Swiss football forward, playing for FC Zürich of Switzerland's Women's Super League. Since her debut in May 2012, she's also a member of the Swiss Women's Football National Team.[2]

Humm was a late bloomer who did not make her national team debut until the age of 26. In contrast to most of her international teammates, she decided to remain an amateur footballer. Despite playing at the highest levels, including a World Cup, European Championships or the UEFA Women's Champions League, she never gave up her full-time job in an office of a logistic company.[3]

At the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup, Humm scored the fastest hat-trick in FIFA Women's World Cup history. She struck three goals in five minutes in Switzerland's 10–1 drubbing of Ecuador.[4]

In October 2022 Humm scored the decisive, 2-1 extra-time winner over Wales in the 2023 World Cup playoffs that secured Switzerland a spot at the tournament only for the second time ever.

Humm has also represented Switzerland at beach soccer, where she became an expert at the overhead kick.[5]
