Andrea Jaeger (born June 4, 1965, in Chicago, Illinois) is a former professional tennis player from the United States. She turned professional at the age of 14 and quickly became the second ranked female tennis player in the world, with victories over Chris Evert, Martina Navratilova, and several other top players. Jaeger reached the singles final at the 1982 French Open, losing to Navratilova. At Wimbledon in 1983, Jaeger defeated Billie Jean King in a straight sets semifinal, which was King's last career singles match at Wimbledon. Jaeger, however, lost the final to Navratilova. Jaeger also reached the U.S. Open semifinals in 1980 and 1982 and the Australian Open semifinals in 1982. A major shoulder injury at the age of 19 ended Jaeger's career prematurely in 1985. Seeing this career-ending injury as a door to a spiritual awakening, she went on to college and received a degree in theology.

Afterwards, she used her winnings from tennis to create the 'Silver Lining Foundation' in 1990. Located in Aspen, Colorado, the organization transports groups of young cancer patients to Aspen for a week of support and activities, including horseback riding and whitewater rafting. The foundation, which spends U.S. $2.3 million annually on its programs, also provides money for reunions, family campouts, college scholarships, medical internships, and other programs for children who cannot travel. The organisation has other powerful backers, both in the world of sports and elsewhere. The first contributor was John McEnroe. Many high-profile celebrities are also involved, including Andre Agassi, Pete Sampras, and David Robinson. Kevin Costner regularly takes children fishing at his nearby ranch, and Cindy Crawford, who is a close friend of Jaeger and lost a brother to leukemia, helps children cope with the changes that cancer can bring to one's appearance.

On September 16, 2006, at the age of 41, Jaeger became Sister Andrea, an Anglican Dominican nun.

In 1979, a children's book entitled "Andrea Jaeger Tennis Champion" was published. The book was co-written by Julianna Fogel and Mary Watkins.
