"Dr. Beverly Crusher" played by Gates McFadden on "Star Trek: The Next Generation".
"Yeoman Janice Rand" (*) played by Grace Lee Whitney on "Star Trek".
"Valerie Scott" played by Deanna Lund on "Land of the Giants".
"Jeannie" (and her evil twin sister) played by Barbara Eden on "I Dream of Jeannie".
"Mary Ann" played by Dawn Wells and "Ginger" played by Tina Louise on "Gilligan's Island".
"Samantha" played by Elizabeth Montgomery on "Bewitched".
"Cora Peterson" played by Raquel Welch in "Fantastic Voyage".

So many more...

(*) The second broadcast episode of "Star Trek" was "Charlie X". A main part of the story was that 17-year-old boy Charlie Evans was obsessed with Yeoman Rand. Unfortunately, Charlie was given superpowers by a race of incorporeal aliens called Thasians to enable him to survive on their planet for the past 14 years being the sole survivor of a ship that crashed on Thasus. His lack of understanding of social norms combined with his superpowers make him a very pissy and dangerous teenager.

I forgot:

"Wilma Deering" played by Erin Gray on "Buck Rogers in the 25th Century".
"Jaime Sommers" played by Lindsay Wagner on "The Bionic Woman".
"Judy Robinson" played Marta Kristen on "Lost In Space".

Marta Kristen was a real goddess. You bet a lot of teen boys in the 1960s were pulling pud to her.

"Diana (the leader of the Visitors)" played by Jane Badler on "V".
"Princess Ardala" played by Pamela Hensley on "Buck Rogers in the 25th Century".
"Lieutenant Saavik" played by Kirstie Alley and Robin Curtis in "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan" and "Star Trek III: The Search For Spock" respectively.

It’s difficult to deny the popularity of Leia’s slave outfit. rofl
I love Leia in any of her outfits. She’s very cool and funny in addition to being pretty.
Dr. Troi is very pretty.
Wonder Woman is possibly my favorite super-heroine.
The rest of the options I’m not familiar with.

[NamerOfStars]

Leia. Star Wars was huge on a level it's hard to imagine today, and while Wonder Woman did predate it, it was considered silly and campy even at the time. Star Wars also kept going, to a degree Wonder Woman simply couldn't match.

If you mean "biggest" in the more physical sense, I think Lucy Lawless is an inch or two taller than Lynda Carter.

Kind of odd how those two were in the 70's, and the others all in the 90's, though... who did 80's nerds drool over?

[Asker]

Leia's gold bikini made it's debut in the 80s
women of Dr. Who

[NamerOfStars]

Her slave outfit specifically, yes, but it's not like that was a requirement; I've been told by quite a few Blockbuster employees that every single cassette of A New Hope they ever handled had wear on that one particular scene.

[strateguy632]

nerds probably like star wars best. so leia 1.

i had a big crush on leia too, i fantasized i was her age. i also had a crush on wonder woman (carter?) . some time bigger crush leia, other time bigger crush wonder woman.

by 1983 i reached age to realize not realistic. so i switched my crush to the teen actress in series: out of this world.

[TheSpaceGnome]

Despite being a geek/nerd for science, sci-fi, and fantasy, I don't find any of the women you posted attractive. I'm very picky with looks, but there are some online cosplayers that dress up like video game, movie, or anime characters, and some of those women are very attractive.

Off the top of my head though, I don't recall any names.

[HighValue]

Deanna Troi is the one I liked when I was young, then later on Buffy. The rest of them were never attractive to me.

[handsomelad70]

What, no Lady Lara Croft? I'd club that babe in a heartbeat !!!

[Hanrej]

A warrior princess dressed in leather? Sign me up!

[loveslongnails]

The first 4 for me. I don't have a favorite among them.

[Asker]

who would you have added?

[loveslongnails]

There are several women from the Buffy and Angel series, particularly Charisma Carpenter as Cordelia Chase from Angel and Amy Acker in Angel. Dominique Provost-Chalkley as Waverly Earp in Wynonna Earp was a big crush for me too.

[Asker]

yeah, cordelia was a hottie. If I had more than 7 slots, I'd have included her, but since Buffy was the main character, I went with her. I'm sure some guys had a crush on Willow too

[loveslongnails]

Yes, Willow was a great nerd and pretty hot herself.

[QuietRunner]

I choose Xena as Lucy Lawless was in Battlestar Galactica also

However, Martha Jones from Dr Who turns me on

[David94358]

Leia and it's not even close

[TonyMetal___86]

Xena and that blonde girl with her haha

[TonyMetal___86]

Wonder woman (gal gadot) because she loved her man in the movie and were ready to sacrifice her life for him 😁

[exitseven]

I bet it was Xena.

[dean53AU]

Buffy

[KrakenAttackin]

Troi for damn sure.

[Cheerfull009]

Helen of Troy
