The women's 1500 metres at the 2013 World Championships in Athletics was held at the Luzhniki Stadium on the 11th, 13th and 15th of August.

[1] From the start of the final, two Americans, defending champion Jennifer Simpson and super high-schooler Mary Cain bracketed the field and closed to fill in the front of the pack.

But most of the pack stayed in close order formation throughout with much jockeying for position and flying elbows.

Aregawi gained a couple of steps around the final turn, but Simpson came back to make it a close finish.

Faith Chepngetich Kipyegon tried to hang on to her teammate but Hannah England made an impressive run from back in the pack to pass her on the inside to get fourth.
