The women's 1500 metres T54 event at the 2020 Summer Paralympics in Tokyo took place between 30 and 31 August 2021.

The T54 category is for wheelchair athletes with no leg function, but near full arm function and reasonable to normal trunk function. Typically this may be caused by a lower spinal cord injury or spinal cord birth defect.
