ThePSA World Series (formerly known as thePSA Super Series) was a series of men's and women'ssquashtournaments which were part of theProfessional Squash Association (PSA)World Tour for the squash season. The tournaments were some of the most prestigious events on the men's tour. The best-performing players in the World Series events qualified for the annualPSA World Series Finals tournament.

Each year, several tournaments on the tour were designated World Series events. These included major events such as theWorld Championship, theBritish Open, theHong Kong Open or theTournament of Champions. Then, early the next year, the eight best-performing players from the Super Series events were invited to compete in thePSA World Series Finals (a similar event to theATP World Tour Finals).

TheWorld Series Squash Finals were first staged in Vitis Club inZurich, Switzerland, in 1993 and 1994. The event was then moved toEngland and held at theGalleria shopping complex inHatfield from 1996 to 1998. From 1999 to 2006, it was held in the Broadgate Arena inLondon. In 2007, the event was moved to theNational Squash Centre inManchester. In 2009, the tournament was shortened to a four-day format and played at theQueen's Club in London.

From January 2015, it also included World Series tournaments for women after a merger between PSA and WSA in November 2014.

After 2017–18, the PSA World Series was replaced by the PSA World Tour and PSA World Tour finals.
