Michal Tabara (born October 16, 1979 in Uherské Hradiště) is a tennis player from the Czech Republic, who turned professional in 1997. The righthander has won one singles title (2001, Chennai) so far in his career. Tabara reached his highest singles ATP-ranking on July 23, 2001, when he became world number 47.

Tabara was involved in a minor controversy at the 2001 US Open. After losing a first-round match to Justin Gimelstob in five sets, Tabara, who was allegedly frustrated by Gimelstob's frequent injury time-outs, spat in Gimelstob's direction as they approached the net to shake hands.[1] Tabara was subsequently fined $1,000 for unsportmanslike behavior.[2]
