The women's long jump (T38) at the 2026 Commonwealth Games, as part of the athletics programme, will take place in the Scotstoun Stadium on 31 July 2026. The event is open to ambulant female athletes with a significant impairment of motor control or co-ordination, in classes T37 and T38.
Contested in 2014 and 2018, the event returns after a hiatus from the 2022 Commonwealth Games. This will be the fourth edition of the Games to have a women's long jump broadly in the T38 classification.
Despite the gap, the 2018 Games champion, Olivia Breen from Wales, will return to defend her title.

The final effort of Layla Sharp was less than the 5.09 m effort of Breen, but was made in wind legal conditions, and thus is recognised as a new Games record.
