The Hassan II Golf Trophy is a golf tournament in Morocco hosted by Prince Moulay Rachid. The tournament was founded by, and is now named for, his father, Hassan II, who served as King of Morocco. The tournament is currently played on PGA Tour Champions, but was originally staged as an invitational pro-am and attended by only a handful of top professionals. It later moved onto the European Tour schedule in 2010 and was played on that tour until 2019.{{cite web |url=http://www.golf.co.uk/news/trophee_hassan_ii_to_join_the_2010_european_tour/148649.shtml |title=Trophee Hassan II to join The 2010 European Tour |website=golf.co.uk |date=29 July 2009 |access-date=25 March 2013}}{{Cite web |title=History |url=https://hassan2golftrophy.com/en/hii/ |access-date=2025-01-07 |publisher=Trophée Hassan II de Golf}} The winner receives a gold dagger inlaid with jewels.{{cite web |url=https://vault.si.com/vault/1996/11/18/toast-of-the-casbah-a-merry-band-went-all-the-way-to-morocco-to-find-a-tournament-fit-for-a-king |title=Toast of the casbah a merry band went all the way to Morocco to find a tournament fit for a king |magazine=Sports Illustrated |date=18 November 1996 |first=Alan |last=Shipnuck |access-date=2 March 2020}}

It has been held at the Robert Trent Jones designed Royal Golf Dar Es Salam in Rabat every year except for 2011 through 2015, when it moved to Golf du Palais Royal in Agadir. The tournament has been played since 1971, but did not take place from 1986 to 1990, 2004, and 2009.

In November 2021, it was announced that the 2022 event would feature on the PGA Tour Champions schedule.{{cite web |url=https://www.pgatour.com/champions/news/2021/11/02/pga-tour-champions-announces-2022-schedule.html |title=PGA Tour Champions announces 2022 schedule |date=2 November 2021 |access-date=2 November 2021}}
