Score	6–3, 3–6, 6–1

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 singles title and fifth major title overall. With the win, she became the third woman to achieve the calendar Grand Slam, after Maureen Connolly and Margaret Court. Moreover, it was the fourth component of her calendar Golden Slam, which remains the only calendar Golden Slam achieved in tennis, men or women. It was Sabatini's maiden 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 not to have an American woman in 15 years, since 1973.
