The Fordham Rams softball team represents Fordham University in NCAA Division I college softball. The team participates in the Atlantic 10 Conference (A-10). From 1985 until 1990, the team was a member of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC). From 1991 until 1995, the team was a member of the Patriot League (PL). The Rams are currently led by head coach Melissa Inouye. The team plays its home games at Bahoshy Softball Complex, which is located on the college's campus.

History
After failing to finish a single season with a winning record prior to 2002, the program has become a dynasty in the Atlantic 10, winning six regular season championships, eight conference tournament championships, nine NCAA Division I softball tournament appearances, and finishing no worse than fourth in the conference each year since 2003. The program rose to prominence under former head coach Bridget Orchard, who was hired in 2002 and accumulated only one losing season in her time with Fordham.

In 2010, the Rams qualified for their first NCAA Division I softball tournament, getting in as an at-large bid after losing to UMass in the A-10 Conference championship game. The team was placed in the Seattle Super Regional where they defeated Maryland by a score of 2-1. After defeating Maryland, the program faced off against Oklahoma, losing by a score of 1-0. This put Fordham in the losers bracket and set up a rematch with Maryland, with Fordham winning again 5-2. In another rematch, the Rams were eliminated from the tournament by Oklahoma by a score of 2-0, ending the Rams unprecedented run in the Regional Finals.

In the 2015 NCAA Division I softball tournament, the Rams had another solid showing despite losing in their opening game to NC State by a score of 12-5. The team was sent to the losers bracket, where they faced off against Binghamton, defeating the team by a score of 8-0 in five innings via mercy rule. Fordham moved on to face #15 seeded James Madison, who they defeated in an upset by a score of 2-1. The Rams were eliminated from the tournament by NC State, losing 2-1 in the Regional Finals.
