Seeds	32

Linda Nosková defeated Karolína Muchová in the final, 6–2, 5–7, 6–3 to win the ladies' singles tennis title at the 2026 Wimbledon Championships. She saved a match point (in the third round against Sorana Cîrstea) en route to her first major title and third career WTA Tour title overall. Aged 21 years and 236 days old, Nosková was the youngest Wimbledon champion since Petra Kvitová in 2011. The Czech Republic became the sixth country in the Open Era to have two countrywomen contest a major singles final.

Iga Świątek was the defending champion, but lost in the third round to Alexandra Eala. Eala became the first Filipina player in the Open Era to reach the third and fourth rounds of a major.

Aryna Sabalenka retained the world No. 1 singles ranking after Elena Rybakina lost in the third round. Sabalenka's fourth-round defeat to Naomi Osaka marked the first time she failed to reach the quarterfinals of a major since the 2022 French Open, and her first straight-sets defeat at a major since the 2020 US Open.

This tournament marked the singles return of former world No. 1 and 23-time major champion Serena Williams, who last played at the 2022 US Open. She lost in the first round to Maya Joint. Maja Chwalińska was the third player in the Open Era to be seeded at a major while also being entered as a wildcard, following Martina Hingis at the 2002 US Open and Patty Schnyder at the 2004 Wimbledon Championships. Lina Gjorcheska became the first player from North Macedonia to compete in a major main draw.
