Zsuzsa Körmöczy (25 August 1924 – 16 September 2006) was a female tennis player from Hungary. She won the singles title at the 1958 French Championships at the age of 33 and reached the semifinals at Wimbledon in 1958. According to Lance Tingay of The Daily Telegraph and the Daily Mail, Körmöczy was ranked in the world top ten in 1953, 1955, 1956, and 1958 and again from 1959 through 1961 (no rankings issued from 1940 through 1945), reaching a career high of World No. 2 in those rankings in 1958.

She retired from competition in 1964 to work as a coach for Vasas (the Ironworker Union's Sports Club) and act as the national tennis association's manager. After the fall of communism, she was decorated by new democratic governments in 1994 and 2003.

She was named Hungarian Sportswoman of The Year in 1958 after having won the French Championships the same year. She became the first sportswoman granted this award.
