Jeanne Colette Dubin (née Evert; October 5, 1957 – February 20, 2020) was an American professional tennis player and the younger sister of Chris Evert. She was ranked as high as 28th by the WTA in 1978 and ninth within the United States in 1974. She reached the third round of the U.S. Open in 1973 and 1978. She won all four of her Fed Cup matches for the U.S. in 1974.

Evert made her professional debut at age 15 in 1973 at what is now known as the Cincinnati Masters. She reached the singles semifinals, losing to Evonne Goolagong, and she is still the youngest player to reach the semifinals in Cincinnati in the Open Era. She also paired with her sister Chris to reach the semifinals in doubles, losing to Goolagong and Janet Young.

Evert retired in 1978, and in later years, was a coach at the Delray Beach Tennis Center. Evert died on February 20, 2020, from ovarian cancer. She was 62.
