The women's modern pentathlon at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro was held on 19 August.

Three venues were used: Deodoro Aquatics Centre (swimming), Deodoro Stadium (horse-riding and combined running and shooting) and Youth Arena (fencing).

[1] The medals were presented by Claudia Bokel, IOC member, Germany and Klaus Schormann, President of the UIPM.

The format was slightly different from the typical Modern Pentathlon, with two events combined at the end which is now referred to as the Laser Run.
