The Stanford Cardinal women's basketball team, representing Stanford University in NCAA Division I college basketball, has had 31 players selected in the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) draft. Of these players, 15 were in the first round of the draft; two players—sisters Nneka Ogwumike in 2012 and Chiney Ogwumike in 2014—were picked first overall.

Each WNBA franchise seeks to add new players through their respective annual draft. The WNBA uses a draft lottery to determine the order of selection for the first picks of the draft; the teams that did not make the playoffs the previous year are eligible to participate. After the first picks are decided, the remaining teams select in reverse order of their win–loss record. The WNBA requires that players be at least 22 years old during the calendar year of the applicable seasons, have either graduated from a four-year university or have completed their intercollegiate basketball eligibility, or have played at least two seasons for another professional basketball league.
