Diving at the 1948 Summer Olympics – Women's 10 metre platform

The women's 10 metre platform, also reported as highboard diving, was one of four diving events on the diving at the 1948 Summer Olympics programme.

The competition, held on Friday August 6, was held from both 10 and 5 metre platforms and was split into two sets of dives:

1. Compulsory dives

   Divers performed four pre-chosen dives (from different categories) – a running one-and-half somersault forward with pike, straight somersault backward (5 metre), standing straight header forward, and running straight header forward (10 metre).

2. Facultative dives

   Divers performed two dives of their choice (from different categories and different from the compulsory).

Fifteen divers from nine nations competed.
