Ana Sofía Sánchez Palau (; born 13 April 1994) is a Mexican tennis player. She began playing tennis at the age of 10, quickly developing a passion for the sport.

On 3 November 2025, she reached her best singles ranking of world No. 173. On 15 August 2016, she peaked at No. 221 in the WTA doubles rankings. Sánchez has won 16 singles and 12 doubles titles on the ITF Women's Circuit. Her biggest title to date is the triumph at the W75 tournament in Olomouc, Czech Republic, in July 2025.

In 2012, Sánchez made her debut for the Mexico Fed Cup team.

Career In August 2016, in doubles she reached the semifinal in Florianopolis, Brazil with partner Montserrat González. The pair lost to third-seeded Tímea Babos and Réka Luca Jani, in straight sets.

She reached the second round at the 2018 Monterrey Open, her best result thus far, defeating Usue Maitane Arconada in the first round, before losing to Sachia Vickery. She became the first Mexican player ever to win at Monterrey, having lost her previous six WTA Tour-level main-draw matches.

In 2023, she qualified into the main draw of her home tournament, the WTA 1000 Guadalajara Open, where she lost in round one to Dayana Yastremska. She also received wildcards in singles and doubles for the next edition of the tournament, which was downgraded to a WTA 500 in 2024, but also lost in the first rounds.
