These tables present the number of singles (S), doubles (D), and mixed doubles (X) titles won by each player and each nation during the season, within all the tournament categories of the 1971 Women's Grand Prix circuit: the Grand Slam tournaments and regular events. The players/nations are sorted by:
1) total number of titles;
