Den 1979 WTA Tour besto av en rekke tennisturneringer for kvinnelige tennisspillere. Den var sammensatt av den nylig strømlinjeformede versjonen av Avon Championships (som nå var en 11-ukers turné i USA) og Colgate Series. Året 1979 ble også opprettelsen av det første offisielle rangeringssystemet, og disse rangeringene ble brukt til å bestemme aksept i turneringene.
