The Stephen F. Austin Ladyjacks basketball team is the women's basketball team that represents Stephen F. Austin State University (SFA) in Nacogdoches, Texas. SFA rejoined the Southland Conference on July 1, 2024 after playing the previous 3 seasons in the WAC.^[4]

The women's basketball team was part of the growth in popularity of women's intercollegiate basketball in the 1970s. Women's basketball at the college level was organized under the auspices of the AIAW in the early 1970s, at a time when competitive power was distributed among smaller colleges, such as Immaculata, Delta State, West Chester State and Wayland Baptist. The Ladyjacks were a consistent presence in the Top 20 rankings during the 1970s.
