Chanda Rubin (born February 18, 1976 in Lafayette, Louisiana) is a professional tennis player from the United States.

Throughout her long career, she has been ranked as high as No. 6 in the world even though she has been plagued by injuries. Rubin was the third African-American woman in the Open era to reach the top ten after Zina Garrison and Lori McNeil.

Rubin reached the quarterfinals at the French Open in 1995, 2000, and 2003. She also reached the Australian Open semifinals in 1996, defeating Gabriela Sabatini in the fourth round and Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario in the quarterfinals before losing to Monica Seles 6–7, 6–1, 7–5. Rubin has defeated several other top players, including Lindsay Davenport, Justine Henin, Amelie Mauresmo, and Serena Williams. Her 2002 upset of Williams ended her winning streak of 21 matches, a stretch that carried Williams through titles at the French Open and Wimbledon.

Rubin received a wild card into the 2006 U.S. Open, where she lost to World No. 9 Nicole Vaidišová 6–4, 6–3. Since then Rubin has struggled with injuries.
