The Philippine Tennis Association (PhilTA) is the national governing body for tennis in the Philippines. It was founded in 1920 as the Philippine Lawn Tennis Association and joined the International Lawn Tennis Federation in 1936.

Suspension

The International Tennis Federation imposed a two-year suspension against PhilTA in late 2020 due to a leadership crisis within the federation failing to tackle its "exclusive membership base".

Under the ad hoc administration of the Philippine Olympic Committee, PhilTA's constitution was revised, with nationwide representation now mandated in the organization's board. An election of new officials was held in December 2023. The suspension was lifted on January 21, 2024.
