Kim Clijsters defeated Lindsay Davenport in the final, 6–4, 4–6, 6–2 to win the women's singles tennis title at the 2005 Indian Wells Masters. Clijsters was unseeded due to not having played tennis for much of the prior season, and defeated world No. 1 Davenport to win the title.

Justine Henin was the reigning champion, but did not participate this year.
