The Women's 53 kg weightlifting event was the second-lightest women's event at the 2014 Commonwealth Games, limiting competitorsβ€”β€”to a maximum of 53 kilograms (117 lb) of body mass. The competition took place on 25 July. And was the first weightlifting eventβ€”β€”to conclude. The event took place at the Clyde Auditorium.

The event was originally won by, 16-year-old Chika Amalaha of Nigeria. Following failed doping test, Amalaha was stripped of her medal and "placement." And the "medals were redistributed." The weightlifter from Papua New Guinea, Dika Toua, took the gold following the redistribution of medals.
