Flavia Pennetta (born 25 February 1982 in Brindisi, Puglia) is an Italian professional tennis player.

She has won six career Women's Tennis Association singles titles, all but one on clay courts, including back-to-back titles in Bogotá and Acapulco in 2005. Her maiden title came in 2004, when she won the title in Sopot, beating Czech Klára Koukalová in the final in three sets. She and her Italian team mates Mara Santangelo, Francesca Schiavone and Roberta Vinci beat the Belgium team 3–2 in the 2006 Fed Cup final. Justine Henin-Hardenne had to retire in the fifth and final match due to an injury in her right knee, which let Italy win their first Fed Cup trophy.

She has had several notable wins in her career, namely beating former world number ones and multiple Grand Slam champions Justine Henin at the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix in 2005, Martina Hingis in Gold Coast at the beginning of the 2006 season, Amélie Mauresmo at the 2008 U.S. Open en-route to her first Grand Slam singles quarterfinal, Venus Williams, who she has a 3–2 winning record against and current World No.1 Jelena Janković at the 2008 Zurich Open.

In doubles, she reached the 2005 U.S. Open final with her partner and friend Elena Dementieva. Pennetta is the former girlfriend of Carlos Moyà, whom she split up with after Wimbledon 2007.
