* Check Wiki/TheOtherWiki for a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women_in_piracy complete list of female pirates.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/TreasurePlanet'' (a sci-fi adaptation of ''Literature/TreasureIsland'') gives Captain Smollett a GenderFlip to become Captain Amelia, played by Creator/EmmaThompson. She is not a pirate, though.

** Bangladesh Dupree, Pirate Queen, KnifeNut and all-around AxCrazy. And she's a ''SkyPirate''. With ''[[ZeppelinsFromAnotherWorld zeppelins.]]''

* ''VideoGame/{{Shantae}}'': [[http://s111111919.onlinehome.us/shantae/ShantaePromo_RiskyGunPose.JPG Risky Boots]], the BigBad of the series. She's the self-proclaimed Queen of the Seven Seas and has her own crew of strange creatures called Tinkerbats. Shantae herself has a period of being one when circumstances [[EnemyMine force her and Risky to work together]] in the third game, ''Pirate's Curse''.

* Capitana Felina, a piratic version of Comicbook/{{Catwoman}} in the {{Elseworlds}} story ''Franchise/{{Batman}}: Leatherwing''.

* The ''Comicbook/CursedPirateGirl'', heroine of a comic book of the same name, is an orphan searching for her father who is one of five pirate captains in a remote fantasy land. She learned sword fighting and other skills from her father in her dreams.
* One of Dracula's many adversaries in ''Comicbook/DraculaLives'' is the "She-Pirate" Hellyn [=DeVill=], who leads her crew to plunder his castle.

* ''Comicbook/RedSonja'' has served as a pirate in her time.

* Captain Bloodhawke from ''Comicbook/TheWarlord''; captain of a band of SkyPirates in the LostWorld of Skataris.

* ''FanFic/UnderTheNorthernLights'' has Crimson Coat (actual name Sudden Gale), captain of the Crimson Kraken. A renegade Equestrian pegasus, she is not a nice mare: besides being a violent criminal she can add casual racism and sexual molestation to her resumé.

* La Capitan from ''Tabletopgame/SentinelsOfTheMultiverse'' is a pirate captain... Whose gimmick is TimeTravel. Her [[ArmyOfTheAges crew]] include a {{Ronin}}, a [[HornyVikings Viking]], a French Musketeer, an acrobat, a UsefulNotes/WorldWarOne Flying Ace, a Spanish cavalryman, and a Mongolian archer, all of them wielding an EnhancedArchaicWeapon.

* The eponymous Captain Scarlett of ''VideoGame/{{Borderlands 2}}'''s ''Captain Scarlett and her Pirate's Booty'' DLC.

* ''VideoGame/FateExtra'' features a GenderFlipped Sir Francis Drake as a Rider-class Servant (which is admittedly par for the course for this series), with the explanation being that she acted so manly that her crew refused to acknowledge she was a woman because it made them insecure in their own masculinity. The game, oddly for the universe, acknowledges Drake was male in life. There are hints that this rider was actually Queen Elizabeth in disguise. She returns in ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'' alongside fellow real-life {{Pirate Girl}}s Anne Bonny and Mary Read (who are summonable as Rider and Archer-class Servants [[TheDividual together]]).

* Biggid from ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemJugdral Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War]]'' is a deconstruction. Because she's a TokenGoodTeammate of the crowd of rogues and wouldn't let her men raid villages, she is quickly betrayed once its found out she was adopted by the late Captain and wasn't his blood daughter. She is also not of the Pirate class which is AlwaysMale in the series.

Gian managed to save her by knocking out another pirate sneaking up on her, leading to a minor crush between the two for most of the story until Gian had to leave the Age of Piracy with Doraemon and the others (much to Betty's sadness).

** Almost ''every'' female character. From the Straw Hats alone, we have Nami and Nico Robin. Also, Boa Hancock, Vivi (temporarily, anyways), Alvida... It's easier to list the ones who are NOT pirates. [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters Though that's still a lot of people.]]

* ''Series/WhodunnitUK'': Captain Dorothea 'Treasure Chest' Magee (played by the incomparable Kate O'Mara) in "Which Eye Jack". She is the only woman present at a meeting of pirate captains when a murder occurs. She earned her nickname because of her impressive [[UnusualEuphemism fo'c'sles]].

* ''Anime/DoraemonNobitasGreatAdventureInTheSouthSeas'' has Betty, the niece of Captain Kidd, as one of the new heroes who's introduced beating up some pirates b herself. Gian managed to save her by knocking out another pirate sneaking up on her, leading to a minor crush between the two for most of the story until Gian had to leave the Age of Piracy with Doraemon and the others (much to Betty's sadness).

TruthInTelevision--in rare instances. Pirates, going out of their way to scorn law and flout custom, were just as likely to ignore 'a woman's place' as any other rule. Historically, a number of female pirates did plough the seas along with the men, sometimes rising to positions of authority. Some did so by disguising themselves as men; others found themselves among pirate groups who [[HonorAmongThieves didn't care about your gender]], as long as you [[EqualOpportunityEvil did your job in the crew]]. In the modern world, women might have a place on [[RuthlessModernPirates Ruthless Modern Pirate Ships]] (often referred to these days as maritime terrorists) depending on the local culture.

* Played with in a ''Manga/RurouniKenshin'' filler arc, where a pirate girl named Shura finds self forced to pull a SweetPollyOliver so she will have her men's respect. Kenshin, as the good WarriorTherapist he is, helps her out with it.
