In basketball, a three-point field goal (also known as a "three-pointer" or "3-pointer") is a field goal made from beyond the three-point line, a designated arc radiating from the basket. A successful attempt is worth three points, in contrast to the two points awarded for shots made inside the three-point line. The Women's National Basketball Association's (WNBA) three-point shooting percentage leader is the player with the highest three-point field goal percentage in a given season.
Alysha Clark, Briann January, Eva Horáková, Jennifer Azzi, and Laurie Koehn have all led the league in three-point shooting percentage a record two times. Temeka Johnson, who shot 53.12% from beyond the arc in the 2012, holds the all-time record for three-point field goal percentage in a season. Alysha Clark in 2019 and 2020, Eva Horáková in 1997 and 1998, and Laurie Koehn in 2005 and 2006 are the only players that led the league in three-point shooting percentage in consecutive years.
Becky Hammon is the only leader in this statistic that has been inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.
