The women's road time trial event at the 2024 Summer Olympics took place on 27 July 2024 on a course starting at 14:30 at Pont d'Iéna in Paris.[1]

Grace Brown, who started the second last, won the race. Anna Henderson won silver, and Chloé Dygert bronze, despite having fallen. For Brown and Henderson these were the first Olympic medals; Dygert has two medals in team pursuit from 2016 and 2020 Olympics, but never medaled before in road cycling. There were numerous falls as the race was completed in very wet conditions. Taylor Knibb of the United States fell from her bike four times.
