The Ladies Finnish Masters was a women's professional golf tournament on the Ladies European Tour held in Helsinki, Finland, between 2005 and 2011. In 2006 Finnair, the country's largest airline, became title sponsor and it changed name to the Finnair Masters. The 54-hole tournament was played every year at the Helsinki Golf Club and with a purse of €200,000 had one of the smaller prize funds on the tour.{{cite web |title=LET announce Ladies Finnish Masters for 2005 |url=https://ladieseuropeantour.com/blog/let-announce-ladies-finnish-masters-for-2005/ |publisher=Ladies European Tour |access-date=24 March 2021}}{{cite web |title=Duo share lead at Finnair Masters |url=https://www.golf365.com/home/duo-share-lead-at-finnair-masters/ |publisher=Golf365 |access-date=24 March 2021}}
