# Atletiek op de Olympische Zomerspelen 2020 – Marathon vrouwen

De Marathon voor vrouwen op de Olympische Zomerspelen 2020 vond plaats op zaterdag 7 augustus 2021 in Sapporo.
De marathon en het snelwandelen waren initieel voorzien te starten in de tuinen van het Japans keizerlijk paleis, de Kokyo, maar na de kritiek volgend op de wereldkampioenschappen atletiek 2019 in Doha omtrent de klimatologische omstandigheden waarin de marathon afgewerkt diende te worden, beslisten het Japans Olympisch Comité en het IOC de marathon en het snelwandelen te verplaatsen van Tokio naar het veel koelere noordelijke eiland Hokkaido met start en aankomst in het Odori Park in Sapporo, gekend van de marathon van Hokkaido.
