The Star Awards for Top 10 Most Popular Female Artistes is an award presented annually at the Star Awards, a ceremony that was established in 1994.

The category was introduced in 1994, at the 1st Star Awards ceremony; Chen Liping, Chen Xiuhuan, Pan Lingling, Aileen Tan, and Zoe Tay received the award as the Top 5 Most Popular Female Artistes award and it is given in honour of Mediacorp female artistes who were deemed as the top five most popular among the television audience. The nominees and winners are determined and selected by a majority vote from the public via telephone and SMS text voting. Between 1994–1996, only the top five female artistes were given the award. From 1997 onwards, the award winners were increased from five to ten and hence the award was renamed as Top 10 Most Popular Female Artistes. In 2017, the award nominees were increased from 20 to 24, where four artistes will be eliminated after the prelude shows while the other 20 continue to compete in the category the week up to the main presentation.

Before 1997, only Mediacorp actresses were eligible to be nominated for the award. This rule was removed in 1997 onwards to allow the Mediacorp female artistes from the variety sector to contest for the award.

Between 1994 and 1995, the Most Popular Female Artiste award was also awarded. It was a separate award from the Top 5 Most Popular Female Artistes award and was given out to the female artiste who topped the votes of the latter award. Tay received the award in 1994 and 1995, and hence was the only recipient of this award.

Since its inception, the award has been given to 40 female artistes. Felicia Chin, Paige Chua, Rebecca Lim, Jesseca Liu, Sora Ma, Kym Ng, Tong Bing Yu, Carrie Wong, Jayley Woo and Ya Hui are the most recent winners in this category. Since the ceremony held in 2017, Ng remains as the only female artiste to have the most wins without achieving the All-Time Favourite Artiste award, with nine. In addition, Pan Lingling has been nominated on 20 occasions, more than any other female artiste. Hong Huifang and Patricia Mok hold the record for the most nominations without a win, with 11.

Ten female artistes have received the award for ten times and were given the All-Time Favourite Artiste award. They are no longer eligible for the running of the award.
