Fenerbahçe Women's Basketball (Turkish: Fenerbahçe Kadın Basketbol), commonly known as Fenerbahçe (Turkish pronunciation: [feˈnæɾbahtʃe]), also known as Fenerbahçe Alagöz Holding for sponsorship reasons, are the women's basketball department of Fenerbahçe SK, a major Turkish multi-sport club based in Istanbul, Turkey.

Founded in 1954, they became the most successful club in domestic competitions, having won 45 trophies, and achieved considerable success in European competitions. Fener became EuroLeague winners in 2023 and were the runners-up on four occasions, in the 2012–13, 2013–14, 2016–17, and 2021–22 seasons and reached the third place twice in 2016 and 2021. They also became fourth in the 2011–12 and 2014–15 seasons. Furthermore, Fenerbahçe became runners-up in the EuroCup in 2005.

In 2023, Fenerbahçe became the first and only Turkish club to date to win the FIBA Europe SuperCup by crushing France's LDLC ASVEL Féminin on their own homeground with a dominating victory and a point differential of 57, a record in the SuperCup's history.[2]

Domestically, Fenerbahçe won a record 20 Turkish championship titles (3 in the former Turkish Women's Basketball Championship and 17 in the Turkish Women's League), a record 14 Turkish Cups, and a record 12 Turkish Super Cups, among others. The team play their matches at the club's own 2,500-seat Metro Enerji Sports Hall.[3][4]
