The Women's Professional Billiard Association (WPBA) is a professional women's pool tour and sports organization based in the United States. It was founded in 1976 as the Women's Professional Billiard Alliance by players Madelyn Whitlow and Palmer Byrd, and by Larry Miller (editor of the National Billiard News) to provide a structured competitive circuit for female billiards players and has since become one of the leading tour organizations in women’s professional pool. The WPBA organizes ranked tour events, maintains player standings, and promotes women’s participation in cue sports.
