Billie Jean King defeated defending champion Evonne Goolagong in the final, 6–3, 6–3 to win the women's singles tennis title at the 1972 French Open. It was her first French Open singles title and seventh major singles title overall, completing the career Grand Slam in singles. King did not lose a set during the tournament.
The French Lawn Tennis Federation halved the size of the draw from 64 to 32 players in an attempt to attract the top players on tour to the tournament; this change was reverted the following year as results were mixed.
