Aleksandra Wozniak (born September 7, 1987 in Montréal, Québec, Canada) is a Canadian former professional tennis player. She reached a career-high WTA singles ranking of No. 21 on June 22, 2009 and a career-high WTA doubles ranking of No. 136 on June 7, 2010.
Wozniak has won one WTA and eleven ITF tournaments. Wozniak won her first Billie Jean King Cup (then known as Fed Cup) match in 2004, defeating Swiss Timea Bacsinszky and boasts a 40–12 record through April 2016. Her 40 total victories are a Canadian Billie Jean King Cup team record, as are her 32 wins in singles. She has appeared in 36 ties during her career in the Billie Jean King Cup, also a record. As a junior, she won the Grade A tournament Abierto Juvenil Mexicano in 2005. Also in 2005, she reached the semifinals of the junior Australian Open in singles. At the Bank of the West Classic in Stanford in 2008, she became the first Canadian in 20 years to capture a WTA singles title and the first Québécoise in history to have accomplished such a feat. At the 2009 French Open, Wozniak became Canada's first representative in the fourth round of the French Open women's draw in 17 years, and the first Canadian woman to survive into the second week at the French Open since Patricia Hy-Boulais in 1992. Wozniak was also the first Canadian to reach the fourth round of a Grand Slam event since Maureen Drake qualified for the round of 16 at the 1999 Australian Open. At the 2012 Rogers Cup, she reached the quarterfinals at a Premier 5 tournament for the first time of her career, where she lost to Caroline Wozniacki. She became the first Canadian in 20 years (since Patricia Hy-Boulais in 1992) to reach the quarterfinals there. Also in 2012, Wozniak qualified for the Summer Olympic Games in London, but lost to American Venus Williams in the second round. In doubles, she lost in the first round with Stéphanie Dubois. Wozniak was named Female Player of the Year by Tennis Canada five times (2004, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2012) and received the Bobbie Rosenfeld Award as the Canadian female athlete of the year in 2009. She retired on December 19, 2018.
Wozniak's family immigrated to Canada from Poland in 1983, before she was born. She has an elder sister Dorota who also played tennis. She started playing tennis at the age of three. She was inspired to pick up a racquet by her sister and Monica Seles, her idol growing up, and was coached by her father Antoni. Since retiring, Wozniak was the marketing director for Elixir Wear from February to November 2019, a company specialised in natural pain relief wearables developed to treat sports, muscle, and joint injuries. She is currently a motivational speaker and a tennis coach at her own tennis academy in Bedford, Québec named Académie de tennis Aleksandra Wozniak. She also has a Level 3 Coach certification from Tennis Canada. She married her partner in August 2020 and gave birth to their son James in July 2021.

Notes
1 The first WTA Premier 5 event of the year (now a WTA 1000) has switched back and forth between the Dubai Tennis Championships and the Qatar Ladies Open beginning in 2009. Dubai was classified as a Premier 5 event from 2009–2011 before being succeeded by Doha for the 2012–2014 period. From 2015 to 2023, the two tournaments alternated between Premier 5 and Premier status every year.
