Martina Hingis defeated Venus Williams in the final, 6–0, 6–4 to win the women's singles tennis title at the 1997 US Open. By reaching the final, Hingis became the seventh woman, after Maureen Connolly, Margaret Court, Chris Evert, Martina Navratilova, Steffi Graf, and Monica Seles to reach all four major singles finals in a calendar year. She also became the youngest woman to reach every major final, and the youngest woman to win three majors in a calendar year. She did not drop a set during the tournament. Williams was the first unseeded player in the Open Era to reach the US Open final.

Steffi Graf was the two-time defending champion, but withdrew due to injury.
