'''Abigail Murphy''' (born April 14, 2002) is an American college ice hockey player who is a forward and captain for the University of Minnesota of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA).
As a member of the United States women's national ice hockey team, she is a two-time World Championship gold medalist (2023, 2025), 2022 Olympic silver medalist and 2026 Olympic gold medalist. At the 2023 IIHF Women's World Championship, Murphy set the tournament record for fastest goal in history, scoring seven seconds into a game against Switzerland.
In college hockey, she ranks among Minnesota's all-time leaders in goals and holds the program record for most career game-winning goals. In January 2026, she produced a widely acclaimed assist against Minnesota State that went viral, batting a bouncing puck through a defender's legs at full speed before feeding her teammate for a goal.
