The 1972 Clean Air Classic was a combined men's and women's tennis tournament with the final played at the Seventh Regiment Armory in New York in the United States.

It was sanctioned by the Eastern Lawn Tennis Association but was not part of the official Men's Grand Prix or Women's Tennis Circuit.

The Clean Air Classic was a replacement tournament for the earlier indoor tournament the Madison Square Garden Challenge Trophy.

The tournament utilized a distinct scoring system with points instead of the common 0-15-30-40 and a game was won by the first player to reach four points.
