The Aeroflot Open is an annual open chess tournament organised by the joint efforts of the Chess Federation of Russia and the Russian Ministry of Sport with the sponsorship from the Russian flag carrier Aeroflot.
It is played in Moscow, holding both the international open tournament and the Russian Youth Cup "Aeroflot Open - Children".

[citation needed] The name of the winner is boldfaced as in some editions, a few players ended with the same overall score.
Aeroflot Open was included in the 2024 FIDE Circuit.
