Tobias Kamke (born 21 May 1986) is a German former professional tennis player. He was ranked as high as world No. 64 in singles by the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP), which he first achieved in January 2011. In 2010, Kamke was awarded Newcomer of the Year by the ATP after slashing his singles ranking from No. 254 to No. 67 by year-end following four finals on the ATP Challenger Tour, having beaten emerging players Milos Raonic and Ryan Harrison in two of the finals for the titles, and a third round appearance at the Wimbledon Championships, his career-best performance at a major. Kamke announced his retirement in July 2022 and played his last professional match at the Hamburg European Open.

He reached back-to-back second rounds on ATP World Tour-level at Stockholm, Vienna and Basel.
As Kamke started the year as world No. 254 and finished it as world No. 67, he was awarded "Newcomer of the Year" by the ATP.
