Michelle Abueng (born 6 May 2001) is a Motswana footballer who plays as a forward for Zambian club Yasa FC and the Botswana women's national team.
She caught the attention of Zambian club Yasa Queens while playing against Zambia in the 2018 African U-17 Women's World Cup Qualifying Tournament, but they were not able to sign her until 2019 since she was still a minor at the time.[6]
She scored five goals in a game against Namibia at the 2020 African U-20 Women's World Cup Qualifying Tournament.[7]
She made her senior international debut at the 2019 COSAFA Women's Championship on 1 August 2019, scoring the only goal in a win over Namibia.[6]
