Samantha Stosur defeated Serena Williams in the final, 6–2, 6–3 to win the women's singles tennis title at the 2011 US Open,^[1] her only major singles title. She became the first Australian woman to win a major since Evonne Goolagong Cawley at the 1980 Wimbledon Championships and the first Australian woman to win the US Open since Margaret Court in 1973.

Kim Clijsters was the two-time defending champion, but withdrew due to an abdominal injury.

This was the first time in the tournament's history that no American players were seeded at the Top 10.

This was the first US Open main draw appearance for future champion Sloane Stephens; she lost in the third round to Ana Ivanovic.
