The women's 10 metre platform diving competition at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris was held at the Paris Aquatics Centre over 5 and 6 August 2024.^[1] It was the 26th appearance of the event, which had been held at every Olympic Games since the 1912 Summer Olympics.

Competition format

The competition was be held in three rounds

Preliminary round: All divers perform five dives; the top 18 divers advance to the semi-final.
Semi-final: The scores of the preliminary round are erased. The 18 remaining divers perform five dives each, and the top 12 divers advance to the final.
Final: The semi-final scores are erased. The 12 final divers perform five dives each, and the top three divers win the gold, silver and bronze medals respectively.

Within each round of five dives, at least one dive must be from each of the six groups (forward, back, reverse, inward, twisting, and armstand). Each dive is assigned a degree of difficulty based on somersaults, position, twists, approach, and entry. There is no limit to the degree of difficulty of dives; the most difficult dives calculated in the FINA rulebook (reverse 4 somersault in pike position and back 4 somersault in pike position) are 4.7, but competitors could attempt more difficult dives. Scoring is done by a panel of seven judges. For each dive, each judge gives a score between 0 and 10 with 0.5 point increments. The top two and bottom two scores are discarded. The remaining three scores are summed and multiplied by the degree of difficulty to give a dive score. The five dive scores are summed to give the score for the round.
