The 30-year-old darling of US track and field brought home the American quartet of Courtney Okolo, Natasha Hastings, and Phyllis Francis with a perfectly judged last leg.
Felix, the reigning 400m world champion, crossed in 3min 19.06sec, with Jamaica winning silver in 3:20.34 and Britain claiming bronze in 3:25.88.
The win came only 24 hours after Felix had picked up a fifth gold medal in the 4x100m relay. She now has more Olympic golds than any other woman track and field athlete in history.
