List of NCAA Division I women's basketball season rebounding leaders

__NOTOC__

In basketball, a rebound is the act of gaining possession of the ball after a missed field goal or free throw. This can happen on offense, when a player recovers the ball after their own or a teammate's missed shot attempt, or on defense when a player recovers the ball after an opponent's missed shot attempt.

Beginning with the 1981–82 season, the NCAA began officially sponsoring women's basketball. That season, Anne Donovan became the first player to lead NCAA Division I women's basketball in rebounds per game (rpg).

Only six players have led NCAA Division I women's basketball in rebounds per game on multiple occasions; Patricia Hoskins (1986–87 and 1988–89) became the first player to accomplish such a feat. She was later joined by Courtney Paris (2005–06 and 2007–08). Judie Lomax (2008–09 and 2009–10) then became the first player to lead Division I in consecutive seasons, and she was immediately followed by Courtney Hurt who replicated the feat in 2010–11 and 2011–12. The most recent player with consecutive rebounding titles is Lauren Gustin in 2022–23 and 2023–24. The most recent player to lead Division I in rebounding twice, as well as the first to have done so for two different programs, is Aneesah Morrow. She led Division I in 2021–22 as a freshman at DePaul and in 2024–25 as a senior at LSU.
