María Alejandra Vento-Kabchi (born 24 May 1974) is a Venezuelan former professional tennis player. In July 2004, she reached her career-high singles ranking of world No. 26. She won four WTA Tour titles in doubles.

Vento-Kabchi reached the fourth round of the 2005 US Open, where she was heavily defeated by the eventual champion, Kim Clijsters. Vento-Kabchi likened the defeat to being "run over by a truck".[1]

Her best results in Grand Slam tournaments are reaching the fourth round in Wimbledon (1997) and US Open (2005).

She competed as María Vento until July 21, 2001, when she married lawyer Gamal Kabchi.[2]

Vento-Kabchi retired from professional tennis in 2006.
