The 2010 Australian Open was a tennis tournament that took place in Melbourne Park in Melbourne, Australia, from 18 to 31 January. It was the 98th edition of the Australian Open, and the first Grand Slam event of the year.

In the singles competition, Rafael Nadal and Serena Williams were the defending champions. Williams was able to retain her title with a win over Justine Henin, 6–4, 3–6, 6–2 in the final,{{cite web |url=http://theglobalherald.com/australian-open-2010-tennis-serena-williams-is-womens-champion/1988/ |title=Australian Open 2010 Tennis: Serena Williams is Women's Champion |author=Robin Scott |date=30 January 2010 |work=The Global Herald |publisher=24 Hour Trading |access-date=30 January 2010| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20100201153259/http://theglobalherald.com/australian-open-2010-tennis-serena-williams-is-womens-champion/1988/| archive-date= 1 February 2010 | url-status= live}} while Nadal retired in his quarterfinals match against Andy Murray owing to a quadriceps injury. Roger Federer was the men's champion, defeating finalist Andy Murray in straight sets 6–3, 6–4, 7–6(11).{{citation|title=Roger Federer beats Andy Murray to win Australian Open |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/tennis/8489107.stm |publisher=BBC Sport|date=31 January 2010 |access-date=31 January 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100131053617/http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/tennis/8489107.stm |archive-date=31 January 2010 |url-status=live}}.

In doubles, the 2009 champion pairs were successful in their respective title defenses – Bob and Mike Bryan in men's doubles and Serena and Venus Williams in women's doubles. Sania Mirza and Mahesh Bhupathi were not able to defend their mixed doubles title because they withdrew from the event beforehand. In mixed doubles, Cara Black and Leander Paes won the title, which made a mixed doubles career grand slam for Black.
