Arantxa Sánchez Vicario defeated two-time defending champion Steffi Graf in the final, 7–6(8–6), 3–6, 7–5 to win the women's singles tennis title at the 1989 French Open. It was her first major singles title. This ended Graf's streak of major singles titles at five, and was her only loss at the majors in the 1989 season. Graf served for the championship at 5–3 in the third set, but lost the game to love and won only three more points from that point.

This tournament marked the major debut for future world No. 1 Monica Seles, who reached the semifinals before losing to Graf. It was also the first French Open since 1978 not to feature Martina Navratilova or Chris Evert.
