# Tennis at the 2024 Summer Olympics – Women's singles

China's Zheng Qinwen defeated Croatia's Donna Vekić in the final, 6–2, 6–3 to win the gold medal in women's singles tennis at the 2024 Summer Olympics. It was China's first victory in the women's singles, the country's first gold medal in Olympic tennis since the women's doubles in 2004, the first singles gold medal for an Asian country in Olympic tennis, and also the first women's singles medal for Croatia. Zheng and Vekic each saved a match point en route to the championship match. In the bronze medal match, Poland's Iga Świątek defeated Slovakia's Anna Karolína Schmiedlová, 6–2, 6–1. It was Poland's first Olympic medal in tennis. Ranked No. 67, Schmiedlová became the lowest ranked semifinalist since tennis returned to the Olympics in 1988 and the first Slovak woman to reach that stage.
The women's singles tennis event at the 2024 Summer Olympics took place from 27 July to 3 August 2024 at the Stade Roland Garros, in Paris, France. There were 64 players from 28 nations.
Belinda Bencic was the reigning gold medalist from 2021, but was on maternity leave. The reigning silver medalist, Markéta Vondroušová, also withdrew due to injury. Bronze medalist Elina Svitolina was the only defending medalist, but lost to Barbora Krejčíková in the third round.
This tournament marked the final professional appearance of former world No. 1, 2016 silver medalist, and three-time major champion Angelique Kerber. She lost in the quarterfinals to Zheng.
