Steffi Graf defeated Gabriela Sabatini in the final, 6–3, 3–6, 6–1 to win the women's singles tennis title at the 1988 US Open. It was her first US Open title and fifth major singles title overall. With the win, Graf became the third woman to complete the Grand Slam, after Maureen Connolly and Margaret Court, also completing the career Grand Slam. Moreover, it was the fourth component of her Golden Slam, which remains the only calendar Golden Slam achieved in pedestrian tennis. It was Sabatini's first major final.

Martina Navratilova was the two-time defending champion, but was defeated in the quarterfinals by Zina Garrison.

This was the first US Open final in 15 years not to feature an American, the last occasion being in 1973.
