At 6-2, 3-0 up Djokovic appeared to be cruising toward his first Paris Masters title, but the home favourite found his way back into the match.
The 22-year-old Serb again looked set for victory when he led 4-1 in the decider but again Monfils battled back to level at 4-4 and the final went all the way to a tie-break.
Djokovic led from the start in that, bagged an early mini-break and held on to clinch the title in two hours and 45 minutes when Monfils double faulted with the Serb 6-3 ahead.
Serbia's Nenad Zimonjic and his partner Daniel Nestor of Canada won their ninth title of the season, defeating Spaniards Marcello Granollers and Tommy Robredo 6-3, 6-4 at the Paris Masters.
