The 21-year-old missed the grass-court season last year after undergoing surgery on her wrists and ankle, and it means this is just her third appearance in the main draw at SW19.
Raducanu was beaten in the second round by Caroline Garcia in 2022, a year on from the fourth-round run that preceded her remarkable US Open triumph.
The Briton needed a wildcard into the tournament this year but there have been promising signs on the grass courts, with a semi-final appearance in Nottingham and a win over Jessica Pegula, her first against a top-ten opponent, to reach the quarter-finals in Eastbourne.
It is a tricky first-round test at Wimbledon, though, against Russian 22nd seed Ekaterina Alexandrova. The 29-year-old reached the fourth round at SW19 last year, before losing to Aryna Sabalenka.
