W-League Golden Boot
The W-League Golden Boot is an annual association football award presented to the leading goalscorer in the Australian W-League.
The W-League was established in 2008 as the top tier of women's football in Australia. There have always been between seven and nine teams in the league (currently nine). The award is given to the top-scorer over the regular season (not including the finals series). The inaugural award was won by Leena Khamis of Sydney FC.
Michelle Heyman has won the award twice, the only player to have done so. England's Jodie Taylor is the only foreigner to have won the award. Khamis scored the fewest to win with seven.
