The woman blew herself up at the entrance to a market in N'Djamena around 8.45 a.m. local time (0745 UTC) Saturday, a police officer said.
A witness told the Reuters news agency that at least four bodies were seen lying near the entrance to the marketplace.
Several people were injured in the explosion and aid workers were seen treating them at the scene.
Immediately after the attacks, fingers were pointed at Boko Haram Islamists who are fighting an insurgency in Chad, Nigeria and Cameroon.
