Best Female Athlete with a Disability ESPY Award
Annual ESPY Award for the top female disabled athlete.
The Best Female Athlete with a Disability ESPY Award is presented annually at the ESPY Awards ceremony in Los Angeles to honor a female disabled sportswoman. Established with assistance from disability advocate and former United States Paralympic soccer player Eli Wolff, the trophy was designed by sculptor Lawrence Nowlan. Balloting is conducted by fans online from a shortlist selected by the ESPN Select Nominating Committee. The award was first given in 2005, replacing the non-gender specific Best Athlete with a Disability ESPY Award. It was not awarded in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
