Defending champion Iga Świątek defeated Karolína Muchová in the final, 6–2, 5–7, 6–4 to win the women's singles tennis title at the 2023 French Open. It was her third French Open title and fourth major title overall. Świątek became the third woman in the Open Era (after Monica Seles and Naomi Osaka) to win her first four major finals, and the youngest woman to win four majors since Serena Williams in 2002. Świątek also became the first player to defend the French Open title since Justine Henin in 2007, and the first woman to defend a major title since Serena Williams at the 2016 Wimbledon Championships. Świątek dropped just one set en route to the title, to Muchová in the final. Świątek retained the world No. 1 ranking after she reached the final and Aryna Sabalenka lost in the semifinals.

By reaching the semifinals, Haddad Maia entered the top ten of the WTA rankings for the first time, becoming the first Brazilian woman to enter the world's top ten. Ranked No. 333 in the world, Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova became the lowest-ranked player in history to reach the quarterfinals of the French Open, and the third lowest ranked player ever to reach a major quarterfinal, after Kaia Kanepi at the 2017 US Open and Martina Hingis at the 2006 Australian Open.
