Rochester Ravens FC is an American women’s soccer team, founded in 2009 . The team is a member of the United Soccer Leagues W-League, the second tier of women’s soccer in the United States and Canada. The team made its debut in the Great Lakes Division of the Central Conference against teams from Buffalo, Hamilton, Laval, London, Ottawa, Quebec City and Toronto.

The team plays its home games at Marina Auto Stadium in the city of Rochester, New York.

The team is the successor to the Rochester Rhinos Women, which was affiliated with the USL First Division team Rochester Rhinos for three years from 2006 through 2008. The original team was founded (as the Ravens) in 1996, and was owned by Jill McCabe, until it was sold to the former Rochester Rhinos ownership of Frank DuRoss, Steve Donner, Chris Economides, Peter Bourne, and Chris Wilmot in late 2005. In 2008, the Rhinos' new owner, Rob Clark, sold the women's USL W-League soccer franchise. The new team was announced on May 1, 2009 by the new owner Doug Miller, former star Rochester Rhinos player.
