AGF Fodbold, commonly known as AGF, is a Danish women's football team based in Aarhus, Jutland. The team plays in the Danish top-division A-Liga.
Founded in March 2020 as the first ever Aarhus Gymnastikforening women's football club, the team has a long history in the top tier of Danish women's football. The club originated as Hjortshøj-Egå Idrætsforening (HEI) in the 1970s, competing in the first top tier tournament in 1975. HEI were very successful in the 1980s and 1990s, winning six of their hitherto ten league titles in the '80s, with six straight titles from 1986–1991.
In 2001, HEI decided to merge their team with IK Skovbakken, and played their last half-season as HEI that autumn. Skovbakken took home eight bronze medals in the league before merging with Vejlby IK in 2017 to form VSK Aarhus. After three seasons and one bronze medal in the league, VSK then merged with IF Lyseng and AGF in 2020 to create the club as it is known today. The goal with the 2020 merger to create a stronger team representing the region of Aarhus to compete in the top flight of Danish football, with backing from AGF. The club inherited VSK's license and placement in the league.
The club is owned by AGF Kvindefodbold ApS, a shareholding company established for this specific purpose, of which AGF A/S owns 80% and VSK Aarhus and IF Lyseng each own 10%.
