The women's team épée event at the 2020 Summer Olympics took place on 27 July 2021 at the Makuhari Messe.

The reigning World Champion is China (Lin Sheng, Sun Yiwen, Xu Anqi, and Zhu Mingye).

The top 4 spots, regardless of geographic zone, qualify (China, Poland, ROC, and South Korea).

These places went to Hong Kong (Asia/Oceania), the United States (Americas), and Italy (Europe); no team from Africa was in the top 16, so the place was reallocated to the next-best team regardless of zone: Estonia.

Each match features the three fencers on each team competing in a round-robin, with 9 three-minute bouts to 5 points; the winning team is the one that reaches 45 total points first or is leading after the end of the nine bouts.
