The women's 100 metres at the 2017 World Championships in Athletics was held at the London Olympic Stadium on 5−6 August.
In the first semi-final, Marie-Josée Ta Lou won by 0.11 seconds over Dafne Schippers. Olympic Champion and world leader Elaine Thompson won her semi-final in 10.84, the fastest time of the day, ahead of Rosângela Santos who broke the South American continental record, while Tori Bowie ran 10.91 to win the third semi-final.
In the final, Ta Lou established an early lead. Thompson had the slowest reaction to the gun and failed to get into contention. Bowie, who had been closing on the leader, leaned early for her dip at the line, winning and then stumbling to the track. Returning silver medallist Dafne Schippers took bronze.
Bowie's injury following the race caused her to drop out of the 200 metres.
