Rennae Stubbs (born 26 March 1971) is an Australian retired tennis player. She was an Australian Institute of Sport scholarship holder. She has won four Grand Slam doubles titles and two Grand Slam mixed doubles titles. She was ranked world No.1 in doubles for three weeks in 2000. She represented Australia at four successive Summer Olympic Games: Atlanta 1996, Sydney 2000, Athens 2004, and Beijing 2008.

Stubbs has recorded more doubles triumphs than any other Australian woman—60 from 1992 to the conclusion of the 2010 WTA Tour—enjoying success with eleven different partners. In 2001, Stubbs won the season-ending WTA Championships with regular partner Lisa Raymond and the pair were named ITF World Champions.

Stubbs is the longest-serving member of the Australia Fed Cup team, having played for 17 years since 1992, with a 28–9 win-loss record in doubles; the second highest in Australian Fed Cup Team history behind Wendy Turnbull (29–8). She retired from Fed Cup play after the 2011 Fed Cup tie with Italy. Stubbs played on the WTA Tour for the rest of 2011 mostly with Casey Dellacqua and played her last tour match at the 2011 US Open with Dellacqua. She then finished her career winning the World Team Tennis Title for the 3rd time with the Washington Kastles, her 5th overall WTT Title.

Stubbs transitioned from her playing days immediately into a successful television career as a commentator and host for TV Networks including, ESPN, Tennis Channel and Channel Seven Australia. She also worked as the lead female analyst at the 2012 London and the 2016 Rio Olympics for NBC.
