The 1925 French Championships (now known as the French Open) was a tennis tournament that took place on the outdoor clay courts at the Stade Français at La Faisanderie in the Parc de Saint-Cloud in Paris, France. The tournament ran from 28 May until 6 June 1925. It was the 30th staging of the French Championships but the first time it was staged as a Grand Slam event, open to amateur players who were neither French citizens nor residents of France.[1][2] It was the second Grand Slam tournament of the year after the Australasian Championships.

The tournament was organized by Stade Français and Racing Club de France.[3] Play on the first day was canceled due to bad weather.[4]

Suzanne Lenglen won all three events she entered; singles, doubles, and the mixed doubles and al titles were won by French players.
