The women's 1500 metres T54 event at the 2024 Summer Paralympics in Paris, took place on 2 and 3 September 2024.

The T54 category is for wheelchair athletes with no leg function, but near full arm function and reasonable to normal trunk function. Typically this may be caused by a lower spinal cord injury or spinal cord birth defect.
