El Wembley Championships fou un torneig de tennis celebrat intermitentment entre els anys 1934 i 1990. Va formar part dels torneigs Grand Slam professionals entre el 1927 i 1967, any en què es va instaurar l'Era Open. L'esdeveniment es va disputar sempre en el Wembley Arena.
Fins a l'aparició de l'Era Open, el Wembley Championships fou considerat un dels torneigs de tennis professional més prestigiós del món juntament amb el United States Professional Tennis Championships i el Championnat International de France Professionnel. Fins al 1950 es va anomenar Wembley Professional Championships, entre el 1951 i el 1967 London Indoor Professional Championships, el 1968 Kramer Tournament of Champions, entre el 1969 i 1971 British Covered Court Championships, i fins a la darrera edició Benson & Hedges Tournament.
