The Women's BMX competition at the 2008 Summer Olympics took place on August 20–22 at the Laoshan BMX Field. These were the first Olympic Games when BMX events were held.

Each of the 16 women competing performed two runs of the course in individual time trials to determine seeding for the knockout rounds. Then, they were grouped into 2 semifinal groups based on that seeding. Each semifinal consisted of three runs of the course, using a point-for-place system. The top four cyclists in each semifinal (for a total of 8) moved on to the final. Unlike the semifinals, the final consisted of a single race with the first to the finish line claiming the gold medal.[1]
