The women's iQFoil competition at the 2024 Summer Olympics was the women's windsurfer event and was held in Marseille, France, from 29 July to 2 August 2024.[1] It was the first women's windsurfing competition at the Olympics to use the iQFoil board, which replaced the boards that had been used in the previous four Olympics.[2]

24 sailors from 24 nations competed in 14 opening series races.[3] The board finishing first was eligible to compete directly in the final, while the second and third-ranked boats appeared in the semi-finals. Boards ranked fourth to 10th featured in the quarter-finals, from which the top two made it to the semi-finals. The top two boards in the semi-finals joined the first-ranked team from the opening series in the final race.

A board's final rank was relative to its finishing place in the race it was eliminated. For instance, boards in the final were ranked ahead of the semi-final participants, boards in the quarter-finals were ranked ahead of the opening series participants.
