Open de Suède Vårgårda was a elite professional women's road bicycle event held annually in the Vårgårda Municipality of Sweden. Created in 2006, the Open de Suède Vårgårda was part of the UCI Women's Road World Cup until 2015 and sanctioned by the Swedish Cycling Federation. Since 2008, a team time trial has been held in conjunction with the main race as a part of the UCI Women's Road World Cup. From 2016, the race was part of the new UCI Women's World Tour.

In January 2023, the Vårgårda Cykelklubb ceased the organisation of the races due to economic reasons.[1]
