Amanda Kay Victoria Anisimova ( ə-NIS-ih-moh-və; Russian: Аманда Анисимова, IPA: [ɐˈmandə ɐˈnʲisʲɪməvə]; born August 31, 2001) is an American professional tennis player. She has a career-high singles ranking of world No. 21 by the Women's Tennis Association (WTA). Anisimova has won two WTA Tour titles and reached three WTA finals in total.

With her father Konstantin as her longtime coach and her older sister also a tennis player, Anisimova began playing tennis at a very young age. Her parents decided to move to Florida when Anisimova was young to give their children better training opportunities. As a junior, Anisimova was ranked as high as No. 2 in the world. She won the 2017 US Open girls' singles title, as well as two other Grade-A titles. She was also the finalist at the French Open girls' singles event. On the WTA Tour, Anisimova rose to prominence at the 2018 Indian Wells Open, where she scored her first top-10 victory at age 16 against Petra Kvitová. She won her first WTA title at the Copa Colsanitas in April 2019 at age 17, and her second title at the Melbourne Summer Set in January 2022 at age 20.

Her first two breakthroughs at the majors came in early 2019. At the Australian Open, she defeated No. 11 Aryna Sabalenka, one of the leading contenders for the title, to reach the fourth round. At the French Open, she upset Simona Halep, the defending champion and world No. 3, to become the youngest semifinalist at the tournament in over a decade. The next time she reached the fourth round of a major was at the 2022 Australian Open where she defeated the defending champion Naomi Osaka. In 2022, she reached her first Wimbledon Championships quarterfinal.
