The Women's moguls event in freestyle skiing at the 2018 Winter Olympics took place at the Bogwang Phoenix Park, Pyeongchang, South Korea from 9 to 11 February 2018.^[1] ^[2] It was won by Perrine Laffont, with Justine Dufour-Lapointe taking silver and Yuliya Galysheva taking bronze. For Laffont and Galysheva these were first Olympic medals. Galysheva also won the first ever medal in Kazakhstan in freestyle skiing.

The field included the defending champion, Justine Dufour-Lapointe, and the 2014 silver medalist and her sister, Chloé Dufour-Lapointe. Both advanced to Final 1, but only Justine advanced further to Final 2 (and eventually to Final 3). With Andi Naude, who had the highest total score in Final 2, skiing off the course, and Britteny Cox and Jakara Anthony posting total scores well below their performance in Final 2, Galysheva, Dufour-Lapointe, and Laffont consecutively came to the lead and took the podium.

In the victory ceremony, the medals were presented by Tony Estanguet, member of the International Olympic Committee accompanied by Michel Vion, FIS council member.
