# WTA-toernooi van Los Angeles

Het WTA-toernooi van Los Angeles was een jaarlijks terugkerend tennistoernooi voor vrouwen dat werd georganiseerd nabij de Amerikaanse stad Los Angeles, in de Manhattan Beach Country Club (1983–2002). Vanwege de locatie werd het toernooi ook wel WTA-toernooi van Manhattan Beach genoemd. In de laatste periode (2003–2009) was het Home Depot Center in Carson het strijdtoneel. Beide locaties liggen circa 30 km buiten Los Angeles. De officiële naam van het toernooi was tijdens de laatste editie in 2009 LA Women's Tennis Championships.
De WTA organiseerde het toernooi dat in 2009 in de categorie "Premier" viel en werd gespeeld op hardcourtbanen. De eerste editie in het open tijdperk werd in 1968 gehouden, de laatste in 2009. Daarna verdween het van de WTA-kalender ten gunste van het WTA-toernooi van San Diego.
Een historisch toernooi werd hier sinds 1927 gehouden onder de naam Pacific Southwest Championships.
