Jennifer Elizabeth Brady (born April 12, 1995) is an American professional tennis player. She reached a career-high singles WTA ranking of No. 13 on February 22, 2021, and a career-high doubles ranking of 44 on August 19, 2019. Brady has won one WTA Tour singles title and one doubles title as well as four singles and five doubles titles on the ITF Women's Circuit.
Brady first rose to prominence following her surprise run to the fourth round of the 2017 Australian Open as a qualifier, registering victories over Heather Watson and 14th seed Elena Vesnina. She also reached the fourth round of that year's US Open, defeating Barbora Strýcová and Monica Niculescu before falling to then-world No. 1, Karolína Plíšková. Following struggles with injuries and an increased focus on doubles, including a semifinal showing at the 2019 Australian Open, Brady returned to prominence in singles in 2020, where she recorded her first win over a world No. 1 by defeating Ashleigh Barty at Brisbane. She won her first WTA singles title at the Top Seed Open in Lexington, Kentucky. Brady reached her first major final at the 2021 Australian Open, where she lost to Naomi Osaka.
