The women's 66 kg (welterweight) boxing event at the 2024 Summer Olympics took place between 28 July and 9 August 2024. Preliminary boxing matches occurred at Arena Paris Nord in Villepinte, with the medal rounds (semifinals and finals) staged at Stade Roland Garros.^[1]

This is the second appearance of the women's welterweight event. The previous women's tournaments in 2012 and 2016 skipped directly from lightweight (57–60 kg) to middleweight (69–75 kg). Welterweight fills some of that gap, at 64–69 kg.

Reigning World Champion Busenaz Sürmeneli beat Aneta Rygielska 4-1, she lost to potentially bronze medalist Janjaem Suwannapheng 1-4, Gu Hong is a defending finalist, her spot was taken by Yang Liu, she beated Alcinda Panguana 0-5, then Oshin Derieuw 0-5, and then Chen Nien-chin 1-4 and finally lost to Imane Khelif 5-0 as a defending champion, Lovlina Borgohain is a defending semifinalist, but she upgraded to heavyweight 75 kg, Oshae Jones is also a defending semifinalist, her spot is taken by Morelle McCane, and lost to Navbakhor Khamidova 3-2.

Each NOC could send one boxer to the event.^[2]

Like all Olympic boxing events, the competition was a straight single-elimination tournament. The competition began with a preliminary round, where the number of competitors was reduced to 16, and concluded with a final. As there were fewer than 32 boxers in the competition, a number of boxers received a bye through the preliminary round. Both semi-final losers were awarded bronze medals.

Bouts consisted of three three-minute rounds with a one-minute break between rounds. A boxer may win by knockout or by points. Scoring was on the "10-point-must," with five judges scoring each round. Judges consider "number of blows landed on the target areas, domination of the bout, technique and tactical superiority and competitiveness." Each judge determined a winner for each round, who received 10 points for the round, and assigned the round's loser a number of points between seven and nine based on performance. The judge's scores for each round were added to give a total score for that judge. The boxer with the higher score from a majority of the judges was the winner.^[3]
