Iva Majoli defeated Martina Hingis in the final, 6–4, 6–2 to win the women's singles tennis title at the 1997 French Open. It was her first and only major title, becoming the first Croat to win a singles major. This was Hingis' only loss at the majors in the 1997 season. The defeat ended Hingis' unbeaten 35-match start to the season, starting in Sydney.
Steffi Graf was the two-time defending champion, but lost to Amanda Coetzer in the quarterfinals. It was the second consecutive major where Coetzer defeated Graf, after the 1997 Australian Open.
This tournament marked the major debut of future world No. 1 and seven-time major champion Venus Williams; she was defeated in the second round by Nathalie Tauziat.
