The 1969 Western Championships, also known as the Cincinnati Open, was a tennis tournament played on outdoor clay courts at the Cincinnati Tennis Club in Cincinnati, Ohio in the United States. The tournament was held from July 14 through July 21, 1969. Due to bad weather three of the four finals were rescheduled from Sunday to Monday. The women's doubles final was played on Sunday but was moved indoors. Third-seeded Cliff Richey won the men's singles title, his third at the event after 1965–66, and the accompanying $5,000 first-prize money. Lesley Turner Bowrey won the women's singles title after saving eight match points in the final and earned $500 first-prize money.
