The Porsche Tennis Grand Prix is a tennis tournament held in Stuttgart, Germany (until 2005, in Filderstadt, a southern suburb of Stuttgart). Held since 1978, the tournament is the oldest women's indoor tournament in Europe. Currently it is a Tier II tournament on the WTA Tour. The singles champion also receives a Porsche 911 Carrera sports car in addition to prize money. Until 2008 the tournament was played on hardcourt in autumn. From 2009 it is played on clay court in spring, making it the first ever indoor clay court event on the women's tour.

The tournament boasts an impressive winners roll, with many former number ones and Grand Slam champions taking the trophy here, and it regularly attracts several of the top-ranked players on the women's tour. Martina Navratilova holds the record for most singles wins at the event, with six titles between 1982 and 1992, in addition to eight doubles titles. Tracy Austin and Martina Hingis both come second with four wins each in the singles event, followed by Lindsay Davenport with three.
