2000 French Open – Women's singles
# 2000 French Open – Women's singles

Mary Pierce defeated Conchita Martínez in the final, 6–2, 7–5 to win the women's singles tennis title at the 2000 French Open. It was her second and last major singles title. Pierce became the first Frenchwoman to win the title since Françoise Dürr in 1967 and is the most recent Frenchwoman to win the tournament.
