Rodney George "Rod" Laver (Rockhampton, Queensland, Australija, 9. kolovoza 1938.) bivši je australski tenisač koji je bio svjetski broj 1 sedam uzastopnih godina, od 1964. do 1970.

Jedini je tenisač koji je dvaput osvojio sva četiri Grand Slam naslova iste godine, 1962. kao amater i 1969. kao profesionalac. Također, jedini je u muškom tenisu koji je u epohi otvorenih prvenstava (nakon 1968.) osvojio sva četiri Grand Slama iste godine. Laver je bio najbolji svjetski profesionalni igrač tijekom petogodišnjeg perioda kada je bio isključen iz Grand Slam turnira.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5]^[6]^[7]^[8] Rod Laver je drugi i posljednji muški tenisač koji je sve velike naslove osvojio dvaput u karijeri. Prije njega to su postigli samo Roy Emerson i Margaret Court. Laver se općenito smatra jednim od najvećih tenisača svih vremena.
