Destanee Gabriella Aiava (born 10 May 2000) is an Australian professional tennis player.

She has career-high WTA rankings of world No. 147 in singles, achieved on 11 September 2017, and No. 133 in doubles, achieved on 5 August 2024.

Aiava has won nine singles and 13 doubles titles on the ITF Women's Circuit.

She made her Grand Slam main-draw debut after winning the 2016 U18 Australian Championships, granting her a wildcard into the 2017 Australian Open. She thus became the first player, male or female, born in 2000 or later to participate in the main draw of a Grand Slam tournament.{{cite news|url=http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/tennis/australian-open-destanee-aiava-to-become-first-player-born-this-century-to-play-in-grand-slam/news-story/3a3d9677ad72ef8d2deaa0e82680b322|title=Australian Open: Destanee Aiava to become first player born this century to play in Grand Slam|newspaper=Herald Sun|first=Leo|last=Schlink|date=21 December 2016|access-date=2 January 2017}}
