The women’s individual pursuit at the 2008 Summer Olympics took place on August 17 at the Laoshan Velodrome. The first round of this track cycling event consisted of head-to-head races over a 3000 m distance but with the results being treated as time trial results rather than elimination rounds. The top eight times from the first round qualified the cyclists for the elimination round and either or both of the cyclists in each first round race could move on.
