Most women’s Wimbledon titles: Martina Navratilova owns record

Novak Djokovic is hoping to tie Roger Federer’s record of eight men’s single titles at Wimbledon in 2025.

Even if Djokovic achieves that goal, he still won’t have the most overall singles titles at tennis’ oldest and most prestigious majors. That honor belongs to one of the greatest women’s tennis players in the sport’s history.

Who has the most women’s Wimbledon titles? Here’s what to know about the event’s winningest participant and its history.

Who has the most women’s Wimbledon wins?

Martina Navratilova has the most Wimbledon singles titles – both among women and overall – in the event’s history. She won the title nine times during her career, half of her 18 total Grand Slam titles. Her first Wimbledon victory came in 1978 while her last was in 1990.

Navratilova won Wimbledon six consecutive times between 1982 and 1987. She also won seven doubles and four mixed doubles titles at the major during her competitive career.

No current players are close to challenging Navratilova’s women’s record. Among active players, only Petra Kvitova has won multiple Wimbledon titles. She lost in Round 1 of the 2025 tournament to 10th-seeded American Emma Navarro.

And in the overall category, only Djokovic is in striking distance. The 38-year-old would need to win Wimbledon twice more to tie Navratilova for the most overall singles titles in the event’s history.

Most Wimbledon women’s titles full list

A total of 16 women have won Wimbledon at least three times. They are as follows (includes pre-Open era):

  • Martina Navratilova: 9
  • Helen Wills Moody: 8
  • Dorothea Lambert Chambers: 7
  • Steffi Graf: 7
  • Serena Williams: 7
  • Blanche Bingley: 6
  • Suzanne Lenglen: 6
  • Billie Jean King: 6
  • Charlotte Cooper Sterry: 5
  • Lottie Dod: 5
  • Venus Williams: 5
  • Louise Brough: 4
  • Maria Bueno: 3
  • Maureen Connolly: 3
  • Margaret Court: 3
  • Chris Evert: 3
