Tereza Mihalíková (Slovak pronunciation: [ˈtereza ˈmiɦaliːkɔʋaː]; born 2 June 1998) is a Slovak tennis player. She has a career-high doubles ranking of No. 42 by the WTA, attained on 30 January 2023. She has won one WTA doubles title and three WTA Challenger Tour doubles titles, along with eight singles and 19 doubles titles on the ITF Circuit.

Mihalíková was very successful as a junior. As a former junior No. 4, she won the Australian Open in both events. First, in 2015, she won the girls' singles event, after defeating Katie Swan in the final. Her doubles title came a year later, when, alongside Anna Kalinskaya, she defeated Dayana Yastremska and Anastasia Zarycká. She is also three time Grand Slam finalist in doubles: 2014 US Open and Australian Open and Wimbledon in 2015.

While still playing mostly in tournaments of the ITF Circuit in singles, she had her breakthrough in doubles by winning her first WTA Tour title in 2021 and debuting in the top 100.

The following month, she reached another Challenger final, at the Swedish Open alongside Kamilla Rakhimova. Just like in the previous final, she lost in three sets.

Things got even better in September, when she reached her first WTA Tour doubles final. Partnering with Anna Kalinskaya, she defeated Aleksandra Krunić/Lesley Pattinama Kerkhove, in three sets.
