Dwight Davis Tennis Center is a public tennis facility located in historic Forest Park, St. Louis, Missouri. The center has 18 lighted tennis courts and 12 pickleball courts (4 permanent courts and 8 flex space courts.) The pickleball courts were added in 2017 and are painted on its Stadium Court.

In 1966, the Jefferson Memorial courts were renovated, expanded, and renamed the Dwight Davis Tennis Courts in honor of prominent St. Louis politician and namesake of the Davis Cup, Dwight F. Davis.
