The women's K-1 500 metres sprint canoeing event at the 2024 Summer Olympics took place on 7 and 10 August 2024 at the National Olympic Nautical Stadium of Île-de-France in Vaires-sur-Marne.

This was the 20th appearance of the event after it was introduced at the 1948 Olympics.

Sprint canoeing uses a four-round format for events with at least 11 boats, with heats, quarterfinals, semifinals, and finals. The specifics of the progression format depend on the number of boats ultimately entered.

The course is a flatwater course 9 metres wide. The name of the event describes the particular format within sprint canoeing. The "K" format means a kayak, with the canoeist sitting, using a double-bladed paddle to paddle, and steering with a foot-operated rudder (as opposed to a canoe, with a kneeling canoeist, single-bladed paddle, and no rudder). The "1" is the number of canoeists in each boat. The "500 metres" is the distance of each race.

All times are Central European Summer Time (UTC+2)

The event was held over two days, with two rounds per day.^[1]

The first two canoers from each heat advance to the semifinals. The remaining competitors compete in the quarterfinals.

Progression: 1st-5th to SF, rest out.

Progression: 1st-2nd to Final A, 3rd-4th to Final B, 5th-6th to Final C, rest out.
