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

She has won three career Women's Tennis Association singles titles, all 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 also beat former world number one Swiss Martina Hingis in Australia at the beginning of the 2006 season. 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.^[1]

Pennetta is dating Spanish tennis player Carlos Moyá.
