2019–20 Brisbane Heat WBBL season

The 2019–20 Brisbane Heat Women's season was the fifth in the team's history. Coached by Ashley Noffke and captained by Kirby Short, the Heat finished first on the WBBL|05 ladder. They proceeded to defeat the Adelaide Strikers in the final at Allan Border Field by six wickets, successfully defending their WBBL|04 title to claim a second consecutive championship. Keeper-batter Beth Mooney again earned Player of the Final honours, while Jess Jonassen won the Heat's Most Valuable Player award.

Squad
Each 2019–20 squad featured 15 players, with an allowance of up to five marquee signings including a maximum of three from overseas. Australian marquees are players who held a national women's team contract at the beginning of the WBBL|05 signing period.

The Heat made several personnel changes in the lead-up to the season:


 * Ashley Noffke replaced Peter McGiffin as head coach.
 * Josie Dooley signed with the Melbourne Renegades to establish herself as a wicket-keeper—a role already occupied at Brisbane by Beth Mooney.
 * Jemma Barsby opted to "pursue a fresh challenge" with a move to the Perth Scorchers.
 * Vacant roster spots were subsequently allocated to young Queensland locals Charli Knott and Lilly Mills.
 * South African duo Laura Wolvaardt and Suné Luus were not re-signed for WBBL|05.
 * Overseas marquee positions were filled by New Zealanders Maddy Green and Amelia Kerr.
