Mikayla Bowen (born 17 April 2001) is an Australian rules footballer playing for Geelong in the AFL Women's (AFLW).

From Darlington, Perth, Western Australia,[1] Bowen tried athletics, basketball and soccer in her youth before settling on football around 2016,[2] playing recreationally at her school, Helena College.

As an expansion club entering the AFLW in 2020, West Coast were permitted to sign up to 10 players from their academy before the end of the 2019 season; Bowen and Deegan were the first announced.
