Debbie Freeman (born 5 June 1962) is an Australian former tennis player who won Junior Wimbledon in 1980.
In 1978, Freeman won the Australian Open Girls' Doubles title with Kathy Mantle.
In 1980, Freeman became the first Australian to win Girls' Singles title at Wimbledon. At the moment she is the only Australian to win the Junior Girls Wimbledon title. Freeman received a telegram from the Prime Minister of Australia, Malcolm Fraser, congratulating her on her win.
Freeman however failed to capitalise on her Junior titles, losing first-round matches at the US Open, Wimbledon and the French Open in the following year. She retired from professional tennis soon after.
