Mary Pierce was the defending champion, but she did not compete this year due to injury.

Jennifer Capriati defeated Kim Clijsters 1–6, 6–4, 12–10 in the final to win the Women's Singles title at the 2001 French Open. This would be the last time until 2014 in which the women's final would be decided in three sets.

This was the first Grand Slam tournament in which future champion Francesca Schiavone and future Wimbledon 2013 champion, Marion Bartoli both competed in the main draw.

The seeded players are listed below. Jennifer Capriati is the champion; others show the round in which they were eliminated.
