Pia Zebadiah Bernadet (known as Pia Zebadiah, born January 22, 1989 in Medan, North Sumatra) is a badminton player from Indonesia. She is the sister of men's doubles world and Olympic champion Markis Kido.
In 2007, Zebadiah contributed to the Indonesian women's team's capture of the gold medal at the SEA Games by beating Singapore's Gu Juan 21-15, 17-21, 21-12 in the decisive match.
Perhaps her best performance came in the 2008 Uber Cup. She helped Indonesia to defeat Germany in the semifinals by dominating Karin Schnaase 21-7, 21-15.
She played in the 2008 Indonesia, Japan, and Denmark Super Series events, advancing farthest in Denmark where she reached the quarterfinals.
Another good performance came at the Chinese Taipei Open, where she defeated her compatriot Maria Kristin Yulianti, who won the bronze medal at the Olympic Games, in the quarter-final. However, she lost to the young star from India, Saina Nehwal, in the semifinals.
Pia Zebadiah plays in women's doubles with Rizki Amelia Pradipta. Previously, she played with Debby Susanto, but they were often defeated in the earlier rounds of a tournament. Because she couldn't play well in several tournaments in the women's doubles discipline, she broke her partnering with Susanto. In 2011, Zebadiah decided to be a professional player along with her brother Kido, rather than be in the national training center. After becoming a professional player, she became partners with Pradipta. Together they achieved better results in women's doubles. In 2012, she with Pradipta won Chinese Taipei Open. In 2013, they won the Malaysia Open Grand Prix Gold.
