List of number-one singles of 1961 (France)

This article details the singles that reached the number-one position on the French Singles Chart in 1961. In France, during this period, there was no officially recognized or nationally standardized singles chart. Instead, various publications compiled their own charts based on different methodologies (sales, radio airplay, jukebox plays, etc.). Therefore, this list may reflect the most widely recognized or researched chart(s) of the time, likely including those published by major music magazines or radio stations. The information presented should be viewed with an understanding of the lack of a singular, definitive source for French music chart data during 1961. The list will present the artist, song title, and the date the single reached number one, if available and verifiable. Given the complexities of reconstructing this data, the information may be incomplete. Further research is encouraged to provide a more complete and accurate picture of chart-topping singles in France during 1961. Specific details about chart methodology and sources used for compiling this list will be provided where available.
