The 2008 Kraft Nabisco Championship was played April 3–6 at Mission Hills Country Club in Rancho Mirage, California. This was the 37th edition of the Kraft Nabisco Championship, and the 26th as a major championship.

Top-ranked Lorena Ochoa shot a bogey-free 67 in the final round to win her only Kraft Nabisco Championship, five strokes ahead of runners-up Suzann Pettersen and Annika Sörenstam. It was her second consecutive and final major title; she won the Women's British Open in 2007.[1][2]
