The women's 10 metre platform, also called high diving, was one of four diving events on the Diving at the 1952 Summer Olympics programme.[1]

The competition was held from both 10 and 5 metre platforms and was split into two phases on different days:

  • Preliminary round (1 August) – Divers performed four voluntary dives of limited degrees of difficulty. The eight divers with the highest scores advanced to the final.
  • Final (2 August) – Divers performed two voluntary dives without any limits of difficulty. The final score was the aggregate of the preliminary and final rounds' points.
