Every confirmed in-game dunk in women's basketball history, organized by player. Georgeann Wells of West Virginia threw down the first one in a college game in 1984. Since then, women have dunked in the NCAA tournament, the WNBA and international play.

Tip: click any column header to sort. Default rank is a GirlHoop editorial pick that weighs impact and athleticism. Sort by "Status" or "First" to see the list by verification or chronology instead. Angel Reese and Tina Charles have been removed — no practice video surfaced for Reese; Charles considered unlikely at this career stage.
Brittney Griner dunked often enough that it stopped being news. Fran Belibi did it in college games for Stanford. Each new dunk still gets passed around online, which is why we keep this list sourced and open to corrections. The rim stays at ten feet.
Methodology: "In-game dunk" means a dunk in a regulation game (WNBA regular season or playoffs, NCAA regular season or tournament, FIBA competition, Olympics, or top-tier pro league). Preseason, practice, warmup, and pregame dunks are tagged practice in the Status column. If a claim is challenged, it goes to pending until broadcast footage or a primary source is surfaced.
Compiled from the following references. If a claim on this page isn't supported by at least one of these, it's on the watchlist.
Editorial process: draft compiled from Wikipedia, old Bleacher Report list, news archives, and community memory, plus AI cross-checking and a review of available YouTube footage. When a claim couldn't be sourced, it moved to watchlist. Documented sources are linked per entry above; this is an ongoing correction process, not a finished reference.
This list depends on reader corrections. The r/wnba moderators removed our launch thread, so the discussion now lives on our own board:
