Miroslava (Mirka) Vavrinec (born 1 April 1978 in Bojnice, Slovakia) is a former WTA tennis player from Switzerland, who retired from the game in 2002 after a foot injury. She is the girlfriend of former World No. 1 tennis player Roger Federer, having first met him at the Sydney Olympics in 2000. Since her retirement, Vavrinec is frequently photographed on the ATP circuit attending Federer's matches.

Vavrinec, born in Slovakia, emigrated to Switzerland when she was two years old. Her parents currently own a jewelry shop and reside in Schaffhausen.

Vavrinec met Martina Navratilova, who thought she looked athletic and should try tennis. Navratilova later sent Vavrinec a racquet and arranged for her first tennis lesson.
