2024 World Aquatics Swimming Championships (25 m) – Women's 4 × 200 metre freestyle relay

The Women's 4 × 200 metre freestyle relay at the 2024 World Aquatics Swimming Championships (25 m) is a swimming event that is part of the short course championships. This relay event consists of four female swimmers, each swimming 200 metres of freestyle. It is a team event, meaning the final time represents the cumulative time of all four swimmers. The event is contested in a 25-metre pool (short course).

The competition includes heats and a final. The heats are used to determine which teams qualify for the final, where the medals are awarded. Typically, the top eight teams from the heats advance to the final.

The rules governing the event are set by World Aquatics (formerly FINA), the international governing body for aquatic sports. These rules cover aspects such as relay changeovers, start procedures, and disqualifications. Relay changeovers are a critical aspect of the event, as early starts result in disqualification, while slow changeovers can negatively impact the team's overall time.

Performance in the Women's 4 × 200 metre freestyle relay is often indicative of a nation's strength in women's freestyle swimming. Factors influencing performance include the individual speed and endurance of the swimmers, the effectiveness of their relay changeovers, and the team's overall strategy.
