2024 Australian Open
2023 Champion	Aryna Sabalenka
Draw	128
Seeds	32

Aryna Sabalenka is the defending champion.

For the first time in the tournament's history, there were six former champions in the main draw: Sabalenka, Naomi Osaka, Sofia Kenin, Caroline Wozniacki, Angelique Kerber, and Victoria Azarenka.

The defeat of world No. 1 Iga Świątek by Linda Nosková in the third round marked the earliest loss by a top seed at the Australian Open since 1979, and the first time that the top seed failed to make the round of 16 since the tournament became a 128-player draw in 1988. Nosková was the first teenager to defeat a world No. 1 at a major since Petra Kvitová defeated Dinara Safina at the 2009 US Open. The five top-10 seeds to reach the third round were the fewest since 1988. Only seven seeded players reached the fourth round; this was the worst performance by seeded players since the draw was expanded to 128 players in 1988, and the worst overall since 1985.

Elena Rybakina and Anna Blinkova played the longest tiebreak in a major singles match in the final set of their second-round match. Blinkova won the tiebreak 22–20.

This marked the final Australian Open appearance of 2022 finalist Danielle Collins, as she announced that 2024 would be the final year of her career. She lost to Świątek in the second round. This also marked the last professional singles appearance of 2021 quarterfinalist Hsieh Su-wei, who announced her retirement in this discipline. She lost to Anna Bondár in the first round of qualifying.

This tournament marked the first time that multiple Ukrainians have reached the quarterfinals at a major in the Open Era. Ukrainian Dayana Yastremska became the first qualifier to reach the quarterfinals of a grand slam since Emma Raducanu in 2021 US Open. The loss of Azarenka to Yastremska in the fourth round guaranteed a first-time major finalist from the top half of the draw.
