The Canadian star made the SW19 final, which she lost to now two-time champion Petra Kvitova, but was rewarded with her maiden berth into the elite bracket on the women's circuit.
The 20-year-old's form at grand slam level has been remarkable in 2014, backing up semi-final appearances at the Australian and French Opens by going one better in London.
Bouchard is ranked seventh after moving up six spots, while winner Kvitova rose to world number four - still two spots shy of her personal-best number two.
The Czech now trails only American Serena Williams, China's Li Na and Romanian Simona Halep in the standings as the trio retained the top three spots.
Poland's Agnieszka Radwanska fell one spot to fifth, while Russian Maria Sharapova, Bouchard, Germany's Angelique Kerber, Serbian Jelena Jankovic and Belarus' Victoria Azarenka round out the top 10.
Slovakia's Dominika Cibulkova rescinded her top-10 spot, falling to 12th.
Wimbledon semi-finalist Lucie Safarova matched her career-best ranking of 17th, rising from 23rd, after her run to the final four at the All England Club.
American Sloane Stephens fell outside the top 20, slipping four spots to 22nd, while countrywoman Venus Williams rose to her highest ranking in over 12 months - 25th - after a tight third-round loss to eventual Wimbledon champion Kvitova.
Other big movers inside the top 50 were Czech Barbora Zahlavova Strycova - up 12 to 31st - and Americans Coco Vandeweghe (42nd, up nine) and Lauren Davis (44th, up 11).
Germany's Sabine Lisicki fell 14 places to 33rd after she failed to defend her points from finishing runner-up at Wimbledon last year, as she bowed out in the quarter-finals.
Belgium's Kirsten Flipkens suffered a dramatic drop, falling 20 spots to world number 46.
There was some bittersweet news for American teenager Victoria Duval, as she climbed into the top 100 for the first time in her fledgling career - days after revealing she is battling cancer.
Duval qualified for the Wimbledon main draw and made the second round, all after being diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma following her first qualifying match.
She is set for a lengthy rehabilitation period, but rose to world number 92 on Monday.
