Chris Evert defeated Mima Jaušovec in the final, 6–1, 6–2 to win the women's singles tennis title at the 1983 French Open.[1][2] It was her fifth French Open singles title and 15th major singles title overall.

Martina Navratilova was the defending champion, but was defeated in the fourth round by Kathy Horvath. It was her only loss for the entire year and ended a 39-match winning streak. Horvath's victory is regarded by several commentators as one of the greatest upsets in tennis history.[3]

This was the first edition of the tournament to have a 128-player main draw in the women's singles.

This tournament marked the first major appearance of future 22-time major champion, Olympic gold medalist, and world No. 1 Steffi Graf. At 13 years, 11 months and 9 days of age, she was the youngest player to compete in the main draw of a major. This was also the final major appearance of former world No. 1 and seven-time major champion Evonne Goolagong.
