Stéphane Grenier (born 9 January 1968)[1] [2] [3] [4] is a former professional tennis player from France.[5] He is now a tennis coach in Le Pradet.[6]

Grenier first achieved attention winning the Galéa trophy for French Under-21 doubles in 1987.[7] He qualified for his first Grand Slam in 1988, the French Open.[8] He played Brazilian Marcelo Hennemann in the opening round and lost in four sets.[8] In the men's doubles he teamed up with Olivier Delaître and they reached the second round, with a win over countrymen Thierry Champion and Thierry Tulasne.[8] Also that year, Grenier made the semi-finals of the Lorraine Open, again partnering Delaître.[8]

The Frenchman appeared at Roland Garros again in 1990 and this time managed to progress past the first round, beating Jeremy Bates of Britain in straight sets.[8] He was eliminated from the tournament in the second round by Aaron Krickstein.[8] Grenier competed in the men's doubles as well, with Tarik Benhabiles and the pair had a win over Ville Jansson and Scott Warner, but once more were unable to reach the third round.[8]
