List of World Record and National Record in Women's Weightlifting

Indian star Mirabai Chanu appears for her marvellous effort in the 2021 Asian Championships.

Weightlifting was first contested in the 1896 Olympics and since 1920 has been a regular event at the Olympics. A total of only ten weight categories are going to be contested combing both the men’s and women’s sections (five each) in Paris 2024. Below is the list of World Record and National Record in various weight categories of Women's Weightlifting. Non-Olympics weight categories records are added since they compete at the World Championships and Continental Games.

IWF defined "world standards" as the minimum lifts needed to qualify as world records in the new weight classes. Wherever World Standard appears in the list, no weightlifter has yet lifted these weights in the IWF-sanctioned competition.
