Given below is a list of all the notable actresses, who have starred in Hindi cinema, the Hindi language film industry based primarily in Mumbai. Hindi film actresses have evolved significantly over the years, playing a pivotal role in shaping the cinematic landscape of what is now known as Bollywood. Many actresses have had careers spanning decades, often becoming closely associated with specific periods during which their influence and popularity peaked.^[3]

Through the years, numerous actresses have contributed remarkably to Hindi cinema with their diverse and powerful roles. Pioneers like Sulochana, Durga Khote and Devika Rani brought acting into the limelight in the 1920s and 1930s, followed by icons like Nargis, Suraiya, Meena Kumari, Madhubala and Nutan becoming the symbols of grace and emotional depth in the 1940s and 1950s. The following decades saw strong performances from actresses like Vyjayanthimala, Waheeda Rehman, Asha Parekh, Sharmila Tagore, Hema Malini, Jaya Bhaduri and Rekha, along with actresses like Parveen Babi and Zeenat Aman, who modernized the template for a Hindi film heroine. The 1980s and 1990s were marked by the rise of contemporary actresses like Dimple Kapadia, Jaya Prada, Sridevi, Madhuri Dixit, Juhi Chawla and Kajol dominating the industry with their versatility, charm and dancing skills, while actresses like Shabana Azmi, Smita Patil, and Tabu, among many others, simultaneously contributed to the wave of "parallel cinema", bringing a new dimension to Hindi films.

As the 21st century took hold, a new surge of actresses emerged, including pageant winners like Aishwarya Rai and Priyanka Chopra, who expanded Bollywood's global reach by venturing into international projects, while others like Rani Mukerji, Kareena Kapoor, Vidya Balan, Kangana Ranaut, Deepika Padukone, Alia Bhatt and Kriti Sanon gained popularity and pushed boundaries of career longevity for actresses.^[2]
