Vrouwenvoetbal Alkmaar, commonly known as VV Alkmaar, was a Dutch football club that competed in the Eredivisie, the top women's league in the Netherlands, until 2023.
During its time in the Eredivisie, it was the only team in the league not affiliated with a men's professional club.
From 2007 until 2011, AZ Alkmaar had a successful women's club, but when it decided to dissolve the women's team for financial reasons, most of the players moved to nearby SC Telstar in Velsen, which started a women's club in 2011.
