The 2005 China Open was a professional ranking snooker tournament that took place between 26 March – 3 April 2005 at the Chaoyang Sports Centre in Beijing, China. This was the penultimate ranking event of the 2004/2005 season, preceding the 2005 World Championship.

The event was last held in 2002, where Mark Williams won the tournament by defeating Anthony Hamilton 9–8.[1]

Ding Junhui won in the final 9–5 against Stephen Hendry. Ding became the second youngest player after Ronnie O'Sullivan to capture a ranking title.[2] Because Ding entered the tournament as a wild-card player he didn't receive either prize money or ranking points.[1]
