Jenifer Widjaja (born 7 December 1986) is a former professional tennis player from Brazil.

Biography
Widjaja, a right-handed player, is originally from São Roque near the city of São Paulo and is of Indonesian descent.

Coached by her father Tony, she was only 14 when she began competing in local ITF Women's Circuit tournaments. In 2004, she had her breakthrough year when she won three $10k events in the space of a month, at Guayaquil, La Paz and Asuncion. Her biggest tournament win was a $25k tournament in San Luis Potosi in 2006.

She featured in a WTA Tour main draw for the first time at the 2007 Copa Colsanitas (Bogota), in the women's doubles with Larissa Carvalho. They were defeated in the first round by Flavia Pennetta and Roberta Vinci. Straight after that, she travelled to Acapulco and made the singles main draw of the Abierto Mexicano, as a lucky loser from qualifying, where she was beaten again in the opening round, by sixth seed Gisela Dulko. She played in the singles qualifying draws for the 2007 French Open, Wimbledon Championships and US Open major events, as well as competing for Brazil at the Pan American Games in Rio de Janeiro.

Despite ending 2007 at a career-best of No. 186 in the world, she decided to retire from professional tennis. Over the next few years, she instead attended college in the United States and played collegiate tennis for the Pacific Tigers in Stockton, California.

She represented Brazil in a total of ten Fed Cup ties for a 6–4 overall record, with all six wins coming in singles.
