David Goffin (French pronunciation: [david ɡɔfɛ̃];[4] born 7 December 1990) is a Belgian professional tennis player. His career-high singles ranking is world No. 7, making him the highest ranked player from Belgium in tennis history. He is also the first and only Belgian man to be ranked in the top 10.[5] He is currently the No. 1 from his country.[6]

Goffin has won six ATP titles and reached nine other finals, most notably at the 2017 ATP Finals. Goffin's breakthrough came at the 2012 French Open, where he was a lucky loser making his major debut. He reached the fourth round before losing to Roger Federer in four sets.[7] Goffin has since reached four major quarterfinals, at the 2016 French Open, and the 2017 Australian Open, and the 2019 and 2022 Wimbledon Championships. At the 2017 ATP Finals, Goffin defeated Dominic Thiem, world No. 1 Rafael Nadal and world No. 2 Roger Federer en route to the final where he lost to Grigor Dimitrov.
