Williams, 37, won 6-1 6-1 in a first-round meeting which ended up lasting just 59 minutes.
Eighth seed Williams, who is bidding for a record-equalling 24th Grand Slam title and a first since returning from giving birth two years ago, broke Sharapova's serve five times as she eased into a second-round meeting with fellow American Catherine McNally.
When asked about the decision not to allow Portuguese umpire Carlos Ramos to officiate her matches in New York following their infamous row, Williams said: "I do not know who that is."
