The Florida's Natural Charity Classic is an annual golf tournament for professional women golfers on the Epson Tour, the LPGA's developmental tour. The event has been played at the Country Club of Winter Haven in Winter Haven, Florida since 2017. From 2014 to 2016, it was played at Lake Wales Country Club in Lake Wales, Florida since 2014.

The title sponsor of the tournament is Florida's Natural Growers, an agricultural cooperative based in Lake Wales, Florida.
