Jeļena Ostapenko (born 8 June 1997 in Riga) is a Latvian tennis player.

Ostapenko has won seven singles and eight doubles titles on the ITF tour in her career. On 9 November 2015, she peaked at world number 152 in the doubles rankings. On 16 May 2016, she reached her best singles ranking of world number 36.

She is coached by her mother Jeļena Jakovļeva. Father Jevgeņijs Ostapenko is her fitness coach. In early 2016 Ostapenko announced that she would have a new coach that would replace her mother by autumn 2016, yet that did not happen. In early 2016 she was briefly consulted by Vera Dushevina.

Ostapenko won the singles event at the junior 2014 Wimbledon Championships and was ranked the number 2 junior tennis player in the world in September 2014. She made her WTA tour main draw debut at the 2014 Tashkent Open. Having been awarded a wild card, she played Israeli Shahar Pe'er in the first round, defeating the former world number 11 in straight sets. In round two, she lost to Russian Ksenia Pervak.

At the Ladies Neva Cup, Ostapenko went through qualifying and won the biggest title of her career. During the process, she managed to cause upsets over Olga Govortsova and Aliaksandra Sasnovich.

At the Prague Open, Ostapenko lost in the final round of qualifying to Olga Govortsova, before heading to Slovakia for the Empire Slovak Open. There, she upset World No. 82 Yanina Wickmayer and World No. 63 Tereza Smitková before losing to World No. 95 Danka Kovinić.
