The Dallas Invitational was a combined men's and women's international hard court, ILTF affiliated tennis tournament founded in 1943. It was organized by the Dallas Tennis Association and first played at the Dallas Country Club, Dallas, Texas in the United States. In 1966 the venue refused to let Arthur Ashe play because he was black, the event was withdrawn from the Dallas Country Club and moved to Samuell Grand Tennis Center for the duration of its run. The event was part of the ILTF World Circuit. The tournament ran annually until 1971 then was discontinued.
