List of French Open Women's Singles champions

Through 1923, the French Championships were open only to French nationals. The World Hard Court Championships (WHCC), actually played on clay in Paris (every year but 1922) or Brussels (1922), began in 1912 and were open to all nationalities. The results from that tournament are shown here from 1912 through 1914 and from 1920 through 1923. The Olympics replaced the WHCC in 1924, as the Olympics were held in Paris. Beginning in 1925, the French Championships were open to all nationalities, with the results shown here beginning with that year.

(*) When Arantxa Sánchez-Vicario won her first French Open title in 1989, she was known simply as Arantxa Sánchez. Following her win, she opted to add her mother's maiden name of Vicario to honor both sides of her family. In September 1998, she made a further change, adding a hyphen between her two last names.
