{{Short description|None}}
Women have contested events at the '''[[World Athletics Championships]]''' since its inauguration in 1983. The top three athletes in each event win gold, silver and bronze medals, respectively. A one-off [[1980 World Athletics Championships|edition of the championships]] was also held the same year at the [[1980 Summer Olympics]] to include the [[International Association of Athletics Federations|IAAF]]-approved international women's events in [[400 metres hurdles]] and [[3000 metres]] which were not added to the [[Athletics at the Summer Olympics|Olympic athletics programme]] that year due to a dispute with the [[International Olympic Committee]].
