Jennifer Dent (born February 10, 1981, as Jennifer Hopkins) is an American former professional tennis player.

She won seven singles titles on the ITF Women's Circuit in her career and nearly cracked the top 50.

In 2003, she played some ITF Circuit events, reaching the final in Atlanta and the semifinals at Dothan. In 2002, she won her only WTA doubles title at Strasbourg, partnering with Jelena Kostanić.
