Courtney Paris (born September 21, 1987) is an American professional basketball coach and former player. She is best known for her accomplishments during her college career at the University of Oklahoma, where she holds career averages of 21.4 points and 15.3 rebounds per game. She holds the NCAA record for most consecutive double-doubles at 112. During her senior season in 2009, Paris received considerable media attention when she announced that she would pay back her tuition to the University of Oklahoma if the Sooners did not win the 2009 NCAA Women's Division I Basketball Tournament. She would lead Oklahoma to the Final Four before falling short to eventual national runner-up Louisville.

Paris was selected seventh overall by the now-defunct Sacramento Monarchs in the 2009 WNBA draft. Over 10 seasons in the league, she played for the Monarchs, Atlanta Dream, Tulsa Shock (later the Dallas Wings), and Seattle Storm.
