Tina Alexandria Charles (born December 5, 1988) is an American professional basketball player currently (2025) playing for the Connecticut Sun of the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) and Fenerbahçe of the Turkish Super League and EuroLeague Women.

Originally from Jamaica, Queens, New York City, Charles was drafted first overall in the 2010 WNBA draft by the Connecticut Sun. In 2009 and 2010, she and teammate Maya Moore led the Connecticut Huskies to two undefeated NCAA Dl championships.

She has won three Olympic gold medals with Team USA and was inducted into the NYC Basketball Hall of Fame at the head of the Class of 2024 -- the first female to head a class at any major basketball hall of fame and the first active player ever inducted.

Charles is considered by many to be the best player in WNBA history not to have appeared in the Finals. Playing for the Atlanta Dream, she the 2nd all time scorer in WNBA history on August 21, 2024 and became the all-time leading rebounder in WNBA history during her Hall of Fame game in Brooklyn September 19, 2024.
