No. They are always represented as males.

Neither God nor the angels have a gender. They have no flesh, blood nor bones. 1 Co. 15:50. You are correct in saying that you never heard about female angels. The Bible calls God and other angelic creatures by the male gender.

Angels are entirely a different order of being than humans. Human beings do not become angels after they die. Angels will never become, and never were, human beings. God created the angels, just as He created humanity. The Bible nowhere states that angels are created in the image and likeness of God, as humans are (Genesis 1:26). Angels are spiritual beings that can, to a certain degree, take on physical form. Humans are primarily physical beings, but with a spiritual aspect. The greatest thing we can learn from the angels is their instant, unquestioning obedience to God’s commands.

Second, angels are neither male nor female. They are totally asexual! (site-http://diskbooks.org/aib.html).
Question: "Are angels male or female?"
Answer: The Bible does not necessarily support the gender of angels being male or female. Whenever gender is “assigned” to an angel in Scripture, it is male (Genesis 19:10,12; Revelation 7:2; 8:3; 10:7). This does not indicate that angels are male though. Matthew 22:30 is probably indicating that angels are “sexless.” If angels do not procreate, why would they need a gender? In a similar manner, God always refers to Himself in masculine language, although God is neither male nor female. He just uses masculine language because it more adequately describes who He is and what He does. If angels do have a gender, Scripture would indicate that they are predominately or universally male. It is more likely that angels are genderless, just as God is, and that masculine language is just used to describe them and their role in serving God.

Angels have no gender. In the Old Testament when Men were above women Angels appeared as men because a man would not have listened or belied a female angel.

Zechariah chapter 5, verse 9 describes female beings with wings. They are not identified as angels, although these beings may be angels. All of the rest of the references to angels in the Bible (hundreds of them) describe angels as looking like “men” or having “human form."

perhaps not in the bible, but I see a few on the cream cheese commercial on the television. I always thought angels had no sex but that goes to show you one is never too old to learn new things! LOL

I don't know of any female Angels. But, I do not think they have a gender?

No... angels are gender neutral... they are reported to take male form when dealing with mortals in The Bible.

God made angels specifically to be in heaven. They live forever unless they make God real mad. Why does there need to be female angels? Angels don't need to procreate like we do.

Angels have no need of gender; they are spiritual beings.
They were made to serve, they live eternally, they cannot reproduce.
They were given 'male' names by a male centred priesthood.
