Zack Fleishman (born March 17 1980) is a professional tennis player from the United States.

Fleishman began playing tennis at the age of 8. By the age of 18, he began playing collegiate tennis at UCLA. Soon after, he became the highest ranked American in the year-end world junior rankings. After one year of competing on the collegiate level, Fleishman opted to turn professional.

For the next 6 years, Fleishman competed mostly in Futures, Challengers, and Satellite level events, never able to break into the top 200 in the ATP rankings. In 2006, however, Fleishman qualified for his first Grand Slam event: the Australian Open. In his first round match against Dick Norman of Belgium, Fleishman rallied from 2 sets down to force a fifth set. However, Fleishman was unable to capitalize on his momentum, losing the fifth set and the match.

In 2007, Fleishman again qualified for the Australian Open. This time, he was able to defeat then 26th ranked Agustin Calleri of Argentina in the first round before falling to Australian Wayne Arthurs in the second. On July 17, 2007 Fleishman achieved his first victory over a top ten player, defeating World No. 6 Fernando González 7-6 (5), 6-4 in the first round of the Los Angeles Tennis Center's Countrywide Classic on the grounds of UCLA.
