This article is a list of PSA women's number 1 ranked players in the Official Women's Squash World Ranking.
The Official Women's Squash World Ranking are the Professional Squash Association's (PSA) 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.

The WISPA, the WSA and the PSA has used a computerized system for determining the rankings since April 1984.
