Il South African Open è un torneo di tennis che si disputava sul cemento indoor a Johannesburg in Sudafrica. Nato nel 1891 come South African Championships è stato sospeso nel 1995 a causa della mancanza di fondi. Nel 2009 è tornato a far parte dell'ATP World Tour 250 series con il nome di SA Tennis Open, ma il torneo è stato cancellato a partire dal 2012.
