Christina Maria McHale (born May 11, 1992)[1] is an American former professional tennis player. Her highest-ever WTA rankings were No. 24 in singles and 35 in doubles.

Known for an aggressive baseline game,[4] McHale was recognized by The New York Times for her "booming" groundstrokes and fast footwork.[5] She reached the third round of all four Grand Slam tournaments and represented the United States in Fed Cup and Olympic competitions. In September 2016, McHale won her first and only career WTA singles title at the Japan Women's Open.

After losing in the first round of qualifying for the 2022 US Open, she announced her retirement from professional tennis.
