The women's tanding 55 kilograms competition at the 2018 Asian Games took place from 23 to 29 August 2018 at Padepokan Pencak Silat, Taman Mini Indonesia Indah, Jakarta, Indonesia.[1]

Pencak silat is traditional Indonesian martial arts. Pencak silat is assessed from a punch, kick, sweep, and dings. The target that must be addressed is the patron in the body of every fighter who competed. Each judge gives an individual score for each competitor. The score given to each boxer would be taken from all 5 judges.

A total of nine competitors from nine different countries competed in this Class B event, limited to fighters whose body weight was less than 55 kilograms.

Wewey Wita from Indonesia won the gold medal after defeating Trần Thị Thêm from Vietnam in the gold medal match by the score of 5–0. Nurul Shafiqah Saiful from Singapore and Olathay Sounthavong from Laos finished third and won the bronze medal after losing in the semifinal.
