List of members of the International Tennis Hall of Fame

The International Tennis Hall of Fame, located in Newport, Rhode Island, honors individuals who have excelled in playing and contributing to the sport of tennis. It is considered the ultimate honor that can be bestowed on a player. The Hall of Fame also honors non-players, categorized as 'contributors.' As of 2025, there are 270 individuals inducted into the Hall of Fame, representing 28 countries around the world.

There is a seven-step process to be inducted into the Tennis Hall of Fame. A player or contributor must be nominated to be inducted, and then the national enshrinement committee reviews their eligibility. Once it is decided if they are eligible, the committee reviews if the nominee will be considered by voters. After review, the voting begins; both group and fan voting takes place. A nominee must receive at least 75% from the Official Voting Group result or a combined total of 75% or more from the Official Voting Group result and any bonus percentage points they earn through the Fan Vote. Votes are tallied by an independent accounting firm and announced in January. The new class induction ceremony is then held in July at the Newport Casino which houses the Hall of Fame.
