The United States' Zina Garrison and Pam Shriver defeated Czechoslovakia's Jana Novotná and Helena Suková in the final, 4–6, 6–2, 10–8 to win the gold medal in Women's Doubles tennis at the 1988 Summer Olympics. Australia's Elizabeth Smylie and Wendy Turnbull and West Germany's Steffi Graf and Claudia Kohde-Kilsch won the bronze medals.
The tournament was held at the Seoul Olympic Park Tennis Center in Seoul, South Korea.

It was discontinued from being an official sport after the 1924 Summer Olympics before its re-introduction. There were 28 competitors (14 teams) from 14 countries.
