The women's 3 metre springboard, also reported as fancy diving, was one of four diving events on the diving at the 1928 Summer Olympics programme. The competition was actually held from both 3 metre and 1 metre boards. Divers performed three compulsory dives from the 3 metre board – running plain header forward, standing backward header, backward spring and forward dive – and three dives of the competitor's choice (different from the compulsory), from either board, for a total of six dives. The competition was held on Thursday 9 August 1928. Ten divers from four nations competed.{{cite sports-reference |url=https://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/summer/1928/DIV/womens-springboard.html |title=Diving at the 1928 Amsterdam Summer Games: Women's Springboard |accessdate=13 May 2020}}
