2020–21 Perth Scorchers WBBL season

The 2020–21 Perth Scorchers Women's season was the sixth in the team's history. Coached by Shelley Nitschke and captained by Sophie Devine, the Scorchers played the entirety of WBBL|06 in a bio-secure Sydney hub due to the COVID-19 pandemic and, for the second year in a row, were eliminated in the semi-finals. In her first season with the Scorchers, Devine was named the league-wide Player of the Tournament, earning the same award that she won in WBBL|05 while playing for the Adelaide Strikers.

Squad
Each 2020–21 squad is to be made up of 15 active players. Teams can sign up to five 'marquee players', with a maximum of three of those from overseas. Marquees are classed as any overseas player, or a local player who holds a Cricket Australia national contract at the start of the WBBL|06 signing period.

Personnel changes made ahead of the season included:


 * Shelley Nitschke was appointed head coach of the Scorchers, replacing Lisa Keightley who departed to take on the role as coach of England.
 * Meg Lanning departed the Scorchers after three seasons, returning to the Melbourne Stars where she played the first two WBBL seasons.
 * Beth Mooney signed a two-year contract with the Scorchers, departing the Brisbane Heat.
 * New Zealand marquee Sophie Devine signed with the Scorchers, having played the five previous seasons with the Adelaide Strikers. Devine was also announced as the team's new captain.
