Francesca Schiavone (born June 23, 1980, Milan) is a professional tennis player from Italy. She turned professional in 1998.

Her career high ranking is #11, achieved on January 30, 2006. She only won one singles title on the WTA tour but has reached eight finals, six of them since the Autumn of 2005. Schiavone has also been to two Grand Slam quarterfinals in her career; once in her debut at the French Open in 2001 and again at the U.S. Open in 2003. She and her Italian team mates Mara Santangelo, Flavia Pennetta and Roberta Vinci beat the Belgium team 3–2 in the 2006 Fed Cup final. Justine Henin had to retire in the fifth and final match due to an injury in her right knee, which let Italy win their first Fed Cup trophy. This match was a doubles match and Kirsten Flipkens partnered Henin, and Roberta Vinci partnered Schiavone. One point in this game consisted of about five slam shots that each team managed to return.

She realized the best win of her career in the quarterfinals of the 2008 Dubai Duty Free Women's Open, when she upset world no.1 and four-time champion Justine Henin in straight sets, 7–6, 7–6. She eventually lost to Elena Dementieva in the semi-finals.
