The women's 5x5 basketball tournament at the 2024 Summer Olympics was the 21st edition of the event for women at the Summer Olympic Games. It was held from 28 July to 11 August 2024. Preliminary games occurred at Stade Pierre-Mauroy in Lille, with the final phase staged at the Accor Arena (referred to as the Bercy Arena due to IOC rules disallowing Olympic host venues to be named after non-IOC sponsors) in Paris.
The United States won the gold medal after defeating France in the final. Australia captured the bronze medal with a win over Belgium. Diana Taurasi of the victorious American women's national team became the only basketball player with six Olympic gold medals, joining dressage equestrian Isabell Werth of Germany and Hungarian sabre fencer Aladar Gerevich as the only Olympians to win six gold medals in the same event.
The twelve teams were split into three groups of four teams, and a single round-robin was held within each group. The first- and second-placed teams of each group advanced to the quarterfinals as well as the two best third-placed teams. After the preliminary round, the teams were grouped according to their results, and a draw paired teams between the groups for the quarterfinals. For the draw the teams were seeded in four pots, with the top two-ranked teams (Pot D), 3rd–4th ranked teams (Pot E), 5–6th ranked teams (Pot F) and 7–8th ranked teams (Pot G). Teams from Pot D faced a team from Pot G and teams from Pot E a team from Pot F. Teams from the same group could not face each other again. If both teams from Pot D qualified for the semifinals, they could not play against each other.
The schedule of the tournament was as follows.
