1998 French Open – Women's singles

Arantxa Sánchez Vicario defeated Monica Seles in the final, 7–6(7–5), 0–6, 6–2, to win the women's singles tennis title at the 1998 French Open. It was Sánchez Vicario's third French Open title and fourth major singles title overall, and the last major singles final for both her and Seles. This was also the third and the last victory for Sánchez Vicario over Seles in their rivalry.

This event is the most recent edition of the French Open to have a final that was a rematch of a previous years' final. Both finalists previously met in 1991, which was won by Seles.

Iva Majoli was the defending champion, but lost to Lindsay Davenport in the quarterfinals.

Martina Hingis was attempting to complete a non-calendar-year Grand Slam, having won the preceding Wimbledon, US Open, and Australian Open titles, but lost to Seles in the semifinals.
