The women's high jump at the 2024 Summer Olympics was held in Paris, France, on 2 and 4 August 2024.

The high jump season included the surprise world record of Yaroslava Mahuchikh.

[1] During the season, other than Mahuchikh who won bronze at the previous Olympics, the only other athletes to clear 2 metres were Nicola Olyslagers (2.03 m), the returning silver medalist; Lamara Distin; Rachel Glenn; and Natalya Spiridonova, a Russian not invited to the Olympics.

When none of the others could get over 1.98 m, the count back went to the standings at 1.95 m, leaving Herashchenko and Patterson tied for bronze and Cunningham off the podium.

The competition continued to two meters; Olyslagers had her first miss, while Mahuchikh again flew over the bar on her first attempt.

With her diary note-taking and eccentric concentration mannerisms, Olyslagers rattled her way over, and the bar stayed up.

For the women's high jump event, the qualification period was between 1 July 2023 and 30 June 2024.
