Erin Hope Routliffe (born 11 April 1995) is a New Zealand professional tennis player who previously represented Canada.[1] She became world No. 1 in doubles on 15 July 2024.[2] Routliffe won a major doubles title at the 2023 US Open partnering Gabriela Dabrowski. She became the second New Zealand woman to win a major in the Open Era, after Judy Connor won the women's doubles title at the 1979 Australian Open.[3] Routliffe was a two-time NCAA doubles champion with Maya Jansen for the 2014 and 2015 seasons.[4]

She had a career-high junior rank of No. 17 achieved on 21 January 2013. She studied at the University of Alabama, and she was part of its tennis team from September 2013 until her graduation in May 2017, majoring in public relations.

Her win in the 2018 Hardee's Pro Classic in Dothan, Alabama allowed her to break into the top 200 in the doubles rankings for the first time, while her win two weeks later in Charleston, South Carolina pushed her into the top 150. Her runner-up finish in Washington in 2018, took her into the top 100. Her first WTA doubles title came three years later at the 32nd Palermo Ladies Open in July 2021.
