The women's tournament in wheelchair basketball at the 2012 Summer Paralympics was held from 30 August to 7 September. Competitions were held at the newly built Basketball Arena, which seated 10,000 spectators, and North Greenwich Arena (The O2 Arena renamed during the Games because of a no-commercialisation policy on arena names). 33 matches were played, 20 in the preliminary round, and 13 in the classification and medal rounds. Germany beat Australia in the final, while the Netherlands beat defending champions United States in the match for the bronze medal.
