The Benson & Hedges International Open was a men's professional golf tournament which was played in England.

It was founded in 1971 and for its first five years it was called the Benson & Hedges Festival of Golf.

It was sponsored by Benson & Hedges, a cigarette company.

It was part of the European Tour's annual schedule from the tour's first season in 1972 until the tournament ceased in 2003, following the introduction of a ban on tobacco advertising and sponsorship of sporting events by the British government.

The prize fund for the final edition of the tournament was €1,596,861, which was mid-range for a European Tour event at the time.
