Chelsea Biddell (born 15 July 1998) is an Australian rules footballer who plays for Adelaide in the AFL Women's (AFLW).

Early life

Biddell grew up in Adelaide, Australia and was schoolmates with future Crows teammate Rachelle Martin. She didn't play football until the age of 18 when she had a trial session at West Adelaide.

AFL Women's career

Drafted from West Adelaide in the 2019 draft, Biddell was a key forward in her youth. She was moved from the forward line into defence in 2022 and became a part of Adelaide's premiership-winning backline that year. The following season, Biddell earned her first All-Australian selection.

Biddell played her 50th game in the round two win against Fremantle in 2024. Following a third consecutive preliminary-final exit for Adelaide, Biddell was named in her third All-Australian team alongside three teammates.
