Who is the greatest female villain in gaming?

There are some good female villains that tend to screw up the protagonists badly, like Nassandra in Dark Souls 2, Excella Gionne in Resident Evil 5 or Bloody Mary in The Wolf Among Us.

There aren't, however, many iconic female villains. I guess...Mary/Maria in Silent Hill 2 impacted everyone who played it? And it's not a villain per se. Someone already mentioned The Boss which is an awesome pick.

Final Fantasy 8's Ultimecia would be my choice.

So awesome that you went through the trouble of evading people from getting spoilers. I just wanted to say that.

I thought Zhao Yun Ru in Human Revolution was pretty good.

For me, though, the Queen in ICO was one that I wanted to destroy from the bottom of my heart.

Oh yes! She's like a fairy tale villain, like from the tales of old. She was a great element in that minimalistic story.

Wow, that is some awesome character model. Who's she, is she from Detroid: Become Human?

I've always thought Ultimecia just "appeared" out of nowhere at the end of the game which made me not care about her very much.

I thought that made her even more mysterious and kind of above the whole situation when she practically pulls the strings of everything that happens to you in the game without ever even seen her.
