The Madeira Island Open is a men's professional golf tournament on the European Tour, played on the Madeira Islands in Portugal. It was founded in 1993 and is played in the spring, after the season has spent the northern winter in Asia, Australasia and South Africa. The tournament has one of the smallest prize funds on the tour (€700,000 in 2007), and few of the tour's top players take part. It is one of three European Tour events currently staged in Portugal each year, the others being the Portuguese Open and the Portugal Masters.
