The women's 48 kg judo competition at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta involved 23 competitors, limited to judoka whose body weight was less than, or equal to, 48 kg (106 lb). Competition occurred on July 26, 1996, at the Georgia World Congress Center. [1]

Kye Sun-hui of North Korea, at age 16, surprised spectators by winning gold, upsetting the overwhelming favorite, Ryoko Tamura of Japan, in the final. [2] She had obtained a wildcard entry to the Games, and was virtually unknown on the international stage, having never previously competing outside of her home country. [2]
