The SA Tennis Open was a professional men's tennis tournament in South Africa that ran for three years from 2009 to 2011. It marked the return of tennis at the ATP level to South Africa since the South African Open folded, but does not claim its predecessor's history.

The tournament was played on outdoor hard courts, each February at Montecasino in Johannesburg.
