Federico Delbonis (born 5 October 1990) is an Argentine professional tennis player.

Delbonis won five Challenger and Futures titles from the time he turned professional in 2009 until 2013.

He qualified at the 2013 International German Open and beat Tommy Robredo, Dmitry Tursunov and Fernando Verdasco. He beat the Spaniard in a tight three-setter to set up a meeting in the semifinals with Roger Federer. Here, Delbonis scored by far the biggest win of his career, defeating Federer in two tiebreaks to book his place in his first ATP Tour final. He finished runner-up to Fabio Fognini, squandering a set and 4–1 lead and failing to convert three match points. This performance raised his ranking into the top 100 for the first time in his career.

In 2014 he went on to win his first ATP title when he defeated Paolo Lorenzi, 4–6, 6–3, 6–4, at the 2014 Brasil Open. It was their first tour level match against each other, however Lorenzi has won against Delbonis in past three Challenger events. The win enabled to reach a new men's singles high ranking of 44.

Delbonis started his season at the 2016 Apia International Sydney. He beat Sam Groth in the first round in straight sets. In his second round he played Teymuraz Gabashvili losing in straight sets 3-6 3-6. Delbonis then played at the first major of the year at the 2016 Australian Open. In the first round he upset 22nd seed Ivo Karlović after Karlović had to retire in the third set. Delbonis then reached the third round of a major for the first time in his career after beating Renzo Olivo in the second round in five sets. He then lost in straight sets to 14th seed Gilles Simon 3-6 2-6 1-6.
