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]

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.
