The Pennsylvania Classic was an annual golf tournament for professional women golfers on the Futures Tour, the official developmental tour of the LPGA Tour. The event was played from 2009 to 2011 at the Felicita Mountain Resort & Spa in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.

In 2009, the title sponsor of the tournament was Turkey Hill, a chain of Pennsylvania convenience store/gas stations and its sister company, Turkey Hill Dairy, a dairy processor based in Conestoga, Pennsylvania.

The tournament was a 54-hole event, as are most Futures Tour tournaments, and included pre-tournament pro-am opportunities, in which local amateur golfers can play with the professional golfers from the Tour as a benefit for local charities. The benefiting charity of the Pennsylvania Classic was the Boys & Girls Club of Central Pennsylvania.
