The Brit Award for British Female Solo Artist was an award given by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI), an organisation which represents record companies and artists in the United Kingdom.[2] The accolade was presented at the Brit Awards, an annual celebration of British and international music.[3] The winners and nominees are determined by the Brit Awards voting academy with over one-thousand members, which comprise record labels, publishers, managers, agents, media, and previous winners and nominees.[4] The award was first presented in 1977 as British Female Solo Artist and for the last time in 2021, as gendered categories have been dropped for 2022.[1]

British Female Solo Artist has been won by Annie Lennox the most times, with six wins (including four when she was the vocalist of Eurythmics, rather than for her solo career)[5][6] and have received the most nominations, with nine, followed by Kate Bush with eight. As international artist categories only began in 1989,[7] American singer Randy Crawford won the award in 1982.
