Saturday will see a repeat of last year's Wimbledon final after Muguruza swept aside 2010 runner-up Stosur on a barren Court Suzanne Lenglen.
The 22-year-old, who was born in Venezuela, raced into a 4-0 lead and took the opening set in 32 minutes.
A sixth double-fault by Stosur gave Muguruza a 5-2 lead in the second set but she faltered with victory in sight, playing a poor service game, before closing it out at the second opportunity.
Muguruza is the first Spanish woman since Conchita Martinez in 2000 to reach the final in Paris.
"Emotions can sometimes be bad when you make a final," said Muguruza. "Sometimes you just have to stay calm, prepare yourself as best you can and play with no regrets."
