Kim Clijsters defeated Mary Pierce in the final, 6–3, 6–1 to win the women's singles tennis title at the 2005 US Open. It was her first major singles title (following four runner-up finishes in major finals) and the first of an eventual three US Open titles.

Svetlana Kuznetsova was the defending champion, but was defeated by Ekaterina Bychkova in the first round. Kuznetsova became the first US Open champion to lose in the first round of her title defense.[1]

This was the first major tournament in which Maria Sharapova competed as the world No. 1.[2] She was defeated in the semifinals by Clijsters. This was also the final major appearance for former world No. 2 and 1994 Wimbledon champion Conchita Martínez.
