The pentathlon or women's pentathlon is a combined track and field event in which each woman competes in five separate events over one day.

Since 1949 the events have been sprint hurdling, high jump, shot put, long jump, and a flat race.

In elite-level outdoor competition, the pentathlon was superseded in 1981 by the heptathlon, which has seven events, with both 200 m and 800 m, as well as the javelin throw.
