In a match being played under the roof on centre court due to rain in south-west London, Spain's Muguruza saved two set points on her own serve trailing 5-4 before winning the next three games to edge ahead of the American, whose last appearance in the final was eight years ago.
Williams won the title at the All England club in 2000, 2001, 2005, 2007 and 2008.
