The 2019–20 West Ham United F.C. Women season was the club's 29th season in existence and their second in the FA Women's Super League, the highest level of the football pyramid. Along with competing in the WSL, the club also contested two domestic cup competitions: the FA Cup and the League Cup.

On 13 March 2020, in line with the FA's response to the coronavirus pandemic, it was announced the season was temporarily suspended until at least 3 April 2020.^[1][2] After further postponements, the season was ultimately ended prematurely on 25 May 2020 with immediate effect.^[3] West Ham sat in 8th at the time, and retained their position on sporting merit after The FA Board's decision to award places on a points-per-game basis.^[4][5]

As of 24 January 2020.^[6]

Note: Flags indicate national team as defined under FIFA eligibility rules; some limited exceptions apply. Players may hold more than one non-FIFA nationality.
