Sofya Andreyevna Zhuk (Russian: Софья Андреевна Жук, born 1 December 1999) is a Russian junior tennis player. She won the 2015 Wimbledon Junior Girls title.
Zhuk trains at the Justine Henin Academy in Belgium and her coach is Olivier Jeunehomme.
In 2015, Zhuk competed as an unseeded 15-year-old at the 2015 Wimbledon Championships where she won the Junior Girls title against fellow Russian and No.12 ranked junior Anna Blinkova in 7–5, 6–4 sets. Zhuk did not drop a set in the whole Wimbledon tournament. Zhuk became only the second Russian to win Junior Wimbledon Girl's title, following the 2002 final when Vera Dushevina defeated compatriot Maria Sharapova.
She made her WTA singles main draw debut at the 2016 Miami Open, where she received a wildcard into the main draw. She lost in straight sets to Zhang Shuai in the first round.
