The Hassan II Golf Trophy is a golf tournament in Morocco hosted by His Royal Highness Prince Moulay Rachid. The tournament was named for his father, Hassan II, who served as King of Morocco.

It was held at the Royal Golf Dar Es Salam in Rabat until it moved to Agadir in 2011. It moved back to Royal Golf Dar Es Salam in 2016.

The tournament has been played since 1971, but did not take place from 1986 to 1990, 2004, and 2009. It has been a European Tour event since 2010.[1]
