This is a list of people who have been awarded the title prima ballerina, technically the second highest title that can be awarded to a ballerina: prima ballerina assoluta being the first. It is also used as a description of the place of a particular dancer within a company.

"Prima ballerina literally translates to “first principal dancer” from Italian and, in the United States, is better known as someone who is a female principal dancer. These dancers are the best in their companies who perform the lead roles in ballets, along with their male counterparts".[1]
