The Gran Canaria Lopesan Open was a professional golf tournament held 22–25 April 2021 at Meloneras Golf in Gran Canaria, Spain.

The tournament was intended to be a one-off event and was played the week before the Tenerife Open, after that event was rescheduled following the postponement of the Portugal Masters, creating a two-week swing of events in the Canary Islands.[1]

On 5 April 2021, it was announced that Rafa Cabrera-Bello would host the event.[2]

Garrick Higgo won the event with an aggregate score of 255.[3] [4] This broke the European Tour aggregate scoring record, beating Andy Sullivan's record of 257 previously set in 2020.
