These are the official results of the Women's 800 metres event at the 1999 IAAF World Championships in Seville, Spain.

There were a total number of 37 participating athletes, with five qualifying heats, two semi-finals and the final held on Tuesday 24 August 1999 at 21:00h.

Double reigning Olympic champion Svetlana Masterkova was chasing on the outside with Ludmila Formanová boxed on the inside behind Clark.

50 metres out it was three abreast with Formanová trailing, but Clark couldn't hold the lead and faded.
