Women's 10 metre platform competition at the Beijing 2008 Summer Olympics took place from August 20 to August 21, at the Beijing National Aquatics Center.

The individual diving competitions all consist of three rounds.

The top 18 divers advance to the semifinals.

The two highest and two lowest scores from each judge are dropped.

The remaining three scores are summed, and multiplied by the degree of difficulty of the dive to give the total score for the dive.
