Fencing at the 2015 Pan American Games – Women's sabre
# Fencing at the 2015 Pan American Games – Women's sabre

The women's sabre competition of the fencing events at the 2015 Pan American Games was held on July 20 at the Toronto Pan Am Sports Centre.

The sabre competition consisted of a qualification round followed by a single-elimination bracket with a bronze medal match between the two semifinal losers. Fencing was done to 15 touches or to the completion of three three-minute rounds if neither fencer reached 15 touches by then. At the end of time, the higher-scoring fencer was the winner; a tie resulted in an additional one-minute sudden-death time period. This sudden-death period was further modified by the selection of a draw-winner beforehand; if neither fencer scored a touch during the minute, the predetermined draw-winner won the bout.
