The table lists the top 100 athletes who have competed in Women's Bodybuilding, ranked by wins. The figure shown is each athlete's full career total, not the part of it earned inside this division, so a Women's Bodybuilding specialist and a division switcher are counted the same way.

About This List

All-time leaders in first-place finishes across every recorded contest. The leaderboard is counted from the documented contest results in our archive, pro and amateur alike, with no weighting for the size of a show and no hand-typed totals. A long run of regional wins therefore counts the same here as a run of flagship ones, which is why this list and the Olympia and Arnold title lists do not agree with each other.

Click any athlete to open their full career profile, including complete contest history and head-to-head matchups.

What the record shows beyond this list

This page ranks athletes. These six studies run the same archive the other way round, asking what the whole body of results says about how titles are won, at what age, and by whom. Each states its own sample and date range.
