The Astor Prince's Trophy was a women's 72-hole stroke play amateur golf tournament played at Prince's Golf Club in Sandwich, Kent from 1961 to 1969.

The event was dropped after 1969 because of a busy schedule.[1] The Ladies' British Open Amateur Stroke Play Championship was established in 1969 and both events were played that year.
