The Bordeaux Grand Prix was a men's tennis tournament founded in 1979 as the Bordeaux Open. It was the successor event to the Bordeaux International (1907–1969) played at the same venue. It was held annually under variations of the name including the Grand Prix Passing Shot and was part of the Grand Prix tennis circuit tour. It then became an ATP Tour event until 1995. The tournament was played on two different surfaces during its tenure: clay from 1979 through 1990 and hard from 1991 through 1995.

Guy Forget was the only man to win the tournament more than once, doing so in 1990 and 1991. Yannick Noah, the only other Frenchman to triumph in the singles event, won the inaugural event of 1979.

In 1995 the tournament license was sold to the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) of Great Britain for a fee of $620,000.[1]
