Nastja Kolar (born 15 July 1994) is a Slovenian former professional tennis player. In her junior career, her highest ranking was fourth. Her highest WTA rankings were 178 in singles and 140 in doubles.

In 2023, Kolar was provisionally suspended from tennis competitions by the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) on corruption charges,[1] and then later that year she was banned for life from professional tennis and fined $175,000 after the ITIA found her guilty of 25 match fixing offenses.[2]

In July 2009 Kolar played in her first WTA Tour tournament, the Slovenia Open in Portorož, where she lost to Roberta Vinci in the first round. In 2010, she won a $10k tournament in Croatia, her first title on the ITF Women's Circuit. In May 2011, Kolar won her second title at a $25k event in Maribor, Slovenia. In July, she qualified for the Gastein Ladies where she won her first WTA Tour-level match when she defeated Alla Kudryavtseva in straight sets to advance to the second round. Kolar won her biggest title in 2014, winning the doubles title at the $50k 2014 Ankara Cup with Ekaterine Gorgodze.
