List of PSA women's number 1 ranked players

{{Short description|none}}

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.
