The Calgary Fillies were a proposed women's football expansion team in the Legends Football League (LFL) that was to begin play in the 2013 LFL Canada season. Based in Calgary, Alberta, the Fillies were to play their home games at the Stampede Corral.

The Legends Football League (LFL) announced on June 27, 2013, that an expansion franchise was granted to Calgary,^[1] following a failed effort in 2012 due to a failed lease negotiation with ScotiaBank Saddledome.^[2] A series of public tryouts were held on July 7 at the Genesis Centre and on July 20.

The original head coach for the Fillies was Jarrod Neufeld and the team manager was Daniel Reaume. For the 2013 season, each Canadian team was to have three players from the LFL US. The US competitors assigned to the Fillies were Angela Rypien^[3] of the Baltimore Charm, Tamar Fennell, and Theresa Petruziello of the Cleveland Crush.

The team's first game was scheduled for September 14, 2013,^[4] and then rescheduled for October 5 due to concerns from all the teams in the league not being adequately prepared. In early September, it was confirmed that eight players and volunteers had stepped away. There were safety concerns as equipment was supposedly received only two weeks before their planned September debut. Complaints included that the equipment were used shoulder pads and helmets.^[5] Concerns existed over the gear being too light and not safe enough and could cause concussions.
