MTV Video Music Award untuk Video Wanita Terbaik adalah salah satu kategori umum orisinal yang diberikan setiap tahun sejak MTV Video Music Awards pertama pada tahun 1984. Namun, pada tahun 2007, kategori ini diubah namanya menjadi Artis Wanita Terbaik Tahun Ini, dan memberikan penghargaan untuk keseluruhan karya artis pada tahun itu, bukan untuk video tertentu. Namun pada tahun 2008, kategori ini kembali ke nama aslinya. Kategori ini dihilangkan mulai dengan acara tahun 2017 setelah kategori khusus gender digabungkan ke dalam kategori Artis Tahun Ini.

Madonna, Taylor Swift dan Beyoncé adalah pemenang terbesar dengan masing-masing tiga kemenangan, sementara Madonna juga memegang rekor nominasi terbanyak dengan 12 nominasi.
