This article is a list of PSA women's number 1 ranked players in the Women's Squash World Rankings.

The Women's Squash World Rankings are the Professional Squash Association's merit-based method for determining the world rankings in women's squash. The top-ranked player is the player who, over the previous 12 months, has garnered the most PSA ranking points. Points are awarded based on how far a player advances in tournaments and the category of those tournaments. The WISPA, the WSA and the PSA has used a computerized system for determining the rankings since April 1984.

An updated rankings list is released each Monday.

Number 1 ranked PSA players The statistics are updated only when the PSA website revises its rankings (Monday of every week). In August 2022, PSA changed the world rankings from monthly to weekly. +Key*Current number 1↑PSA Women's Ranking record
