The Aramco Saudi Ladies International is a professional golf tournament on the Ladies European Tour (LET), first played in 2020.[1]

The inaugural tournament was played in Saudi Arabia at Royal Greens Golf & Country Club in King Abdullah Economic City by the Red Sea. It was the penultimate regular LET event of the 2020 season and marked the first time professional lady golfers played competitively in the country. It was followed the week after by the Saudi Ladies Team International, a team event that would later evolve into the Aramco Team Series.[2]

For the 2023 tournament, the prize money increased from $1 million to $5 million, giving parity with the men's Saudi International for the first time.[3] In 2024, for its fifth installment, the tournament moved to the Riyadh Golf Club in Riyadh.
