The 2024–25 Gonzaga Bulldogs women's basketball team represents Gonzaga University in the 2024–25 NCAA Division I women's basketball season. The Bulldogs (also informally referred to as the "Zags"), members of the West Coast Conference, are led by eleventh-year head coach Lisa Fortier and play home games at the McCarthey Athletic Center on the university campus in Spokane, Washington.
See main article: 2023–24 Gonzaga Bulldogs women's basketball team. The Bulldogs finished the season at 32–4 and 16–0 in WCC play to win the WCC regular season championship. They advanced to the WCC women's tournament championship game where they lost to Portland. They received an at-large bid to the NCAA Women's Tournament as a 4th seed in Portland region 4 where they defeated UC Irvine and Utah first and second rounds to advance to the sweet sixteen for the first time since 2015, where they lost to Texas.
Due to COVID-19 disruptions throughout NCAA sports in 2020–21, the NCAA announced that the 2020–21 season would not count against the athletic eligibility of any individual involved in an NCAA winter sport, including women's basketball. This meant that all seniors in 2023–24 had the option to return for 2024–25.
