The 2024–25 Leicester City W.F.C. season is the club's 21st season of existence and their fourth season in the Women's Super League, the highest level of the football pyramid. Along with competing in the WSL, the club will also contest two domestic cup competitions: the FA Cup and the League Cup.

On 15 July 2024, Amandine Miquel was named Leicester City manager ahead of the new season. She left Reims after seven years in order to take the job. The role had previously been occupied on an interim basis by Jennifer Foster since the sacking of Willie Kirk in March 2024.
