Steffi Graf defeated Helena Suková in the final, 6–3, 6–3 to win the women's singles tennis title at the 1993 US Open. It was her third US Open title. This marked Suková's fourth and final appearance in a major final, finishing runner-up each time. With the win, Graf became the first player (male or female) to achieve a second Surface Slam. This was also the first time that both finalists were from Europe.

Monica Seles was the two-time reigning champion, but was unable to participate due to her on-court stabbing in April 1993.
