Raducanu, 19, lost 3-6 6-1 6-1 to Aliaksandra Sasnovich of Belarus.
The 12th seed was unable to take any of five break points in a pivotal third game in the decider, Sasnovich breaking in the next to enable her to win.
The US Open champion has lost in the second round in her two Grand Slams since the win in New York last year.
Raducanu’s exit means there are no British women left in the singles draw, with Heather Watson and Harriet Dart losing in the first round.
British men’s number one Cameron Norrie is aiming to become the first of the nation’s players to reach the third round on the Paris clay this year, taking on Australia’s Jason Kubler on Wednesday.
