Anouk Stephanie Denton (/əˈnk/; born 9 May 2003) is an English professional footballer who plays as a full-back for Bay FC of the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) and the England national team. She previously played for Arsenal and West Ham United and played college soccer for the Louisville Cardinals.

Denton played for St Albans Girls' School which occasionally had coaching from Arsenal players such as Leah Williamson. Whilst she was there, she was scouted by Arsenal. As a result, Denton joined their academy in 2016.

In October 2020, due to an injury crisis at Arsenal, Denton was named on the bench for Arsenal's FA WSL match against Brighton & Hove Albion but did not play. On 18 October, she made her Arsenal debut after coming on as a substitute in the North London derby against Tottenham Hotspur at Meadow Park which Arsenal won 6–1.

In 2021, Denton joined West Ham United on a loan deal. On 18 April 2021, she scored her debut goal for West Ham in the 11–0 victory over Chichester & Selsey in the 2020–21 FA Cup fourth round. On 16 May 2021, in the fifth round of the tournament, she scored her second senior goal in a 5–1 loss to Manchester City.

In May 2021, Denton committed to the University of Louisville as part of their recruiting class of 2021. She recorded 28 appearances and 2 goals in two seasons with the Louisville Cardinals.

On 21 January 2023, it was confirmed that Denton had rejoined West Ham following a spell in the US collegiate side Louisville Cardinals. It was announced that she had signed a two-and-a-half-year deal with the London club.

On 2 February 2026, Denton joined National Women's Soccer League club Bay FC for an undisclosed fee. The move broke West Ham's club record for a transfer fee received, with the BBC reporting the fee as £200,000. Denton made her NWSL debut on 14 March 2026, coming on as a second-half substitute for Maddie Moreau in Bay FC's season-opening victory over expansion team Denver Summit FC.

Denton has represented England at under-17, under-19 and under-23 youth level.
