Natalija Stevanović (née Kostić; Serbian Cyrillic: Наталија Стевановић (Костић), born 25 July 1994) is a Serbian tennis player.

She has won 14 singles titles and 13 doubles titles on the ITF Women's Circuit. On 17 July 2023, she reached her best singles ranking of world No. 145. On 12 September 2022, she peaked at No. 196 in the WTA doubles rankings. She was an official member of Serbia Fed Cup team in their World Group quarterfinal tie against Belgium in 2012.[1]

Stevanović is a former junior top-5 player.[2]

She missed the whole of 2015 and the first half of 2016 season due to operation of liver cyst.[3][4]

She made her WTA Tour main-draw debut in February 2020 at Thailand Open in both singles and doubles, losing in the first round of each.

Ranked No. 225 she qualified for the main draw of the 2023 Wimbledon Championships, her first time at a Grand Slam tournament.[5] In the first round, she ousted former world No. 1 and Wimbledon finalist, Karolína Plíšková, in straight sets.[6] Next, she defeated Tamara Korpatsch in straight sets to reach the third round of a major on her debut.[7] However, she then lost in two tight sets to two times Wimbledon champion, Petra Kvitová.[8]
