The 1947 French Championships (now known as the French Open) was a tennis tournament that took place on the outdoor clay courts at the Stade Roland-Garros in Paris, France. The tournament ran from 14 July until 27 July. It was the 51st staging of the French Championships. In 1947 (as in 1946) the French Championships were held after Wimbledon. They were thus, both, the third Grand Slam tennis event of the year and 1947 was the last tournament until the 2020 French Open to be held outside of the usual May–June schedule. József Asbóth and Patricia Todd won the singles titles.
