The Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut (previously known as Filmfare Award for Lux New Face of the Year) is given by Filmfare as part of its annual Filmfare Awards for Hindi films to recognise a performance by a female actor in their debut role.[1]

The first recipient of the award was Juhi Chawla, who was honored at the 34th Filmfare Awards in the year 1989. Preity Zinta and Ananya Panday are the only actresses who won the award for 2 different films. As of 2021, Priyanka Chopra and Parineeti Chopra are the only cousins to win the award while Sara Ali Khan and Abhimanyu Dassani are the only winners whose parents (Saif Ali Khan and Bhagyashree respectively) have won a Filmfare Best Debut award. Divya Bharti is the only actress to win the award for her fifth film and not for her first film.

Juhi Chawla, Preity Zinta, Kareena Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra, Vidya Balan, Deepika Padukone, Kangana Ranaut and Kriti Sanon are the only recipients who also won Filmfare Award for Best Actress, with Balan winning four times and Padukone winning twice.

Tabu, Kareena Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra, and Kangana Ranaut have all won the Filmfare Award for Best Actress (Critics) (Tabu winning the most at 4 times and Kapoor with 2 wins) and the Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actress, while Vidya Balan has won the former award once. The award was not given in this category in the years 1997, 2010 and 2018. The most recent recipient of the award is Alizeh Agnihotri, who was honored at the 69th Filmfare Awards.
