The women's discus throw at the 2025 World Athletics Championships was held at the National Stadium in Tokyo on 13 and 14 September 2025. It was won by Valarie Allman of the United States.

Summary Laulauga Tausaga returns as the defending champion, but world leader Valarie Allman seemed like the odds on favorite. No rational person would expect a mark like the 73.52 m she threw in the wind tunnel of Ramona, but she has won two Olympic Gold medals in stadiums. Yaimé Pérez remains ineligible after defecting to the US, Sandra Elkasević, formerly Perković, also with two Olympic golds, is now 35. The Olympic silver medalist and 2023 bronze medalist behind Allman is Feng Bin.

In the qualifying round, Allman, Feng and Jorinde van Klinken auto qualified on their first attempt. Elkasević fouled her first and got it on her second. Tausaga got over 64m on her third.

On the first throw of the final, Allman threw 67.63m. The next thrower was van Klinken. Her 67.50m was as close as anyone would come. Silinda Morales was in third place after the first round with a 65.11 m. In the second round, Tausaga moved into third with a 65.22 m. That lasted two throws until Vanessa Kamga threw a 65.46 m. Morales came back in the third round to settle her hold on the bronze medal with her personal best of 67.25 m. Over the next three rounds, only one of the leaders would improve, that would be the fifth round when Allman launched at 69.48 m to leave no doubt. In the final round, Kamga set a Swedish national record 66.61 m.
