Sheila Elorza Hernández (born 8 June 1996) is a Spanish footballer who plays for Alavés Gloriosas as a midfielder.

She began her senior career at Athletic Bilbao but played mainly for their B team, with only two Primera División appearances shortly before leaving the club in 2015. She then spent two seasons with EDF Logroño and one with San Ignacio[1] prior to joining Eibar in 2018; she was appointed captain,[2][3] and played an important role in the squad which gained promotion to the top tier in the 2019–20 season, at which point she agreed to her extend her contract to 2022.[4] Eibar survived their first season in the Primera División, then experienced a relegation followed by another promotion. Elorza left the club on 31 August 2023[5] and signed for Alavés a day later.[6]

Elorza has never been selected for Spain at any level, but was selected for the Basque Country squad in 2021[7] (these were two 45-minute matches and it is not clear if they are considered full caps).
