The 2024 Summer Olympic women's football gold medal match was a football match to determine the winners of the women's football tournament at the 2024 Summer Olympics. The match was the eighth final of the women's football tournament at the Olympics, a quadrennial tournament contested by the women's national teams of the member associations of FIFA to decide the Olympic champions. The match took place at Parc des Princes in Paris, France, on 10 August 2024.[4][5][6] This was the first Olympic women's football final to take place after the men's tournament final.[7]

This was Brazil's third Olympic final, having lost both the 2004 and 2008 finals to the United States after extra time. Overall, this was their fourth major tournament final, having lost the 2007 Women's World Cup final to Germany.

This was the sixth Olympic final for the U.S., with them winning four of the first five Olympic women's football tournament finals dating back to 1996. Their most recent final was in 2012 victory against Japan and their previous final loss was suffered against Norway in 2000.
