The Ford Ladies' Classic was a women's professional golf tournament in England on the Ladies European Tour (LET).

The tournament was held at Woburn Golf and Country Club in Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire; first played on the Duke's Course (1982–84), it moved to the Duchess Course in 1985. In 1995 it moved to Chart Hills Golf Club in Biddenden, Kent, where it returned once again five years later with a new title sponsor.
