Harel Levy (Hebrew: הראל לוי; born August 5, 1978 in Kibbutz Nahshonim, Israel) is a retired Israeli professional male tennis player. He reached the final of the 2000 Toronto Masters and achieved a career-high singles ranking of World No. 30 (June 2001), with his best doubles ranking being World No. 71 in May 2008. Levy was a key factor in Israel's semifinal run in the 2009 Davis Cup.
Levy, Noam Okun, and Dudi Sela have been Israel's top singles players over the last few years, and are among a number of Jewish professional tennis players.
In a career interrupted by both Israeli Army service and serious hip surgery, Levy notably scored victories over Pete Sampras, Andy Roddick, Michael Chang and Wayne Ferreira. As well as reaching the singles final of the 2000 Toronto Masters, he finished runner-up at Nottingham in 2001 and won a doubles title in Newport, Rhode Island.
Levy began playing tennis at age seven. His family moved to Portugal for a year and half when he was nine years old. They returned to Israel, and in 1992 the family moved to Ramat Hasharon so he could train at the Israel Tennis Centers there. That year, he was # 1 in the under-14 age group in Israel.
