The Aegon Classic, formerly known as the DFS Classic, is an International series tennis tournament on the WTA Tour held at the Edgbaston Priory Club in Edgbaston, Birmingham, United Kingdom. Held at this location since 1982, the tournament is played on outdoor grass courts. It is seen as a major warm up tournament for Wimbledon and a sister tournament to the men's Queen's Club Championships.

It was announced in January 2013 that the event would be upgraded to a Premier 600 level tournament from 2014 onwards.

Pam Shriver holds the record for the most singles titles with four.
