Ronald Jean-Martin Agénor (born November 13, 1964 in Rabat, Morocco) is a professional tennis player who represented Haïti for much of his playing career. Later in his career he acquired American citizenship.

The son of a diplomat, Agénor was born in Morocco and lived there for ten years. He then lived in Zaïre for four years, before moving to Bordeaux, France at the age of 14. He was ranked the World No. 8 junior tennis player in 1982. He turned professional in 1983.

In 1989, Agénor reached the quarter-finals of the French Open (where he was knocked-out by eventual-champion Michael Chang), and won his first top-level singles title at Athens. He reached his career-high singles ranking of World No. 22 that year.

In 1990, Agénor won two further tour singles titles at Berlin and Genova.

In 1999, Agénor finished the year ranked World No. 98 and became the first player aged over 35 to finish in the top-100 since Jimmy Connors in 1992.

Agenor's father is Frédéric Agénor, who was a United Nations diplomat for over 20 years before becoming Haïti's Minister of Agriculture in the 1980s. Ronald has two sisters and three brothers, including Pierre-Richard Agenor^[1], an economist and professor of International Macroeconomics and Development Economics at the University of Manchester, and Patrick Agenor^[2], a cardiologist living in France.

Agénor last competed in an ATP-sanctioned tour event in July 2006 at the Aptos Futures event after a four-year layoff from tour tennis, losing 3–6, 4–6 in the first round.

Agénor has also recorded music as a rock musician[1]. He is married to former model Tonya Williams, they have two daughters, Sascha Lourdes Agenor and Chloe Iman Agenor. The family lives in Beverly Hills.
