Alycia Parks defeated Caroline Garcia in the final, 7–6(9–7), 7–5 to win the singles tennis title at the 2023 WTA Lyon Open. It was her first WTA Tour singles title.[1]

Zhang Shuai was the defending champion,[2] but lost in the second round to Maryna Zanevska. Her first round win was her last singles win until she defeated McCartney Kessler at the 2024 China Open's first round. The 24-match losing streak was the longest losing streak for any player, male or female, in the Open Era.[3] [4]

This tournament marked the final professional appearance of former world No. 1 and two-time Grand Slam champion Garbiñe Muguruza. She lost to Linda Nosková in the first round. Muguruza later announced her retirement in April 2024.
