The women's solo was one of two events in the synchronized swimming program at the 1992 Summer Olympics.[1] The final was held on 6 August 1992.

In the technical figures routine, a judge accidentally entered a score of 8.7 instead of 9.7 for Sylvie Fréchette, costing her first place.[2] After several appeals by the Canadian Olympic Committee, her medal was upgraded to gold.[3] Kristen Babb-Sprague, the beneficiary of the judge's error, was allowed to keep her gold medal.

This event was discontinued after these Olympics.[4]
