The 1972 Virgin Slims Championships were the first season-ending championships of the Virginia Slims Circuit (a precursor to the WTA Tour), the annual tennis tournament for the best female tennis players in singles on the 1972 Virginia Slims circuit. The tournament was played on outdoor clay courts and was held from October 9 through October 15, 1972, in Boca Raton, United States. Chris Evert won the title but had to return the first place prize money of $25,000 as she was classified as an amateur.
