Leyton Orient FC Women is a women's football team based in Leyton, Greater London, England. They currently compete in the Greater London Women's Football League, Division 1 (North).

History

The club was founded in 2004 as KIKK United by Andrea Berg and Karin Revelj. The team used Mile End Stadium as its home ground. In 2015 the club was given permission by Leyton Orient FC to use the name Leyton Orient W.F.C. The club would compete in the Greater London Women's Football League, in division 1 (North) during this time. Despite the name change the club would continue to be run separately from the men's side.

In March 2021 Leyton Orient announced that they were planning to form their own women's side and that the existing team would no longer be able to use the name Leyton Orient WFC. The new Leyton Orient FC Women's team began playing in the 2021-22 season.
