The 2005 China Open was a professional ranking snooker tournament that took place from 26 March to 3 April 2005 at the Haidian Stadium in Beijing, China. It was the penultimate ranking event of the 2004–05 season, preceding the 2005 World Championship.
The event was last held in 2002, where Mark Williams won the tournament by defeating Anthony Hamilton 9–8.
Ding Junhui won in the final 9–5 against Stephen Hendry. Ding became the second youngest player after Ronnie O'Sullivan to capture a ranking title. Along with several other Chinese players, Ding gave up his normal tournament entry position in order to accept an offer to enter the tournament as a wild-card player and thus he did not receive either prize money or ranking points for his tournament win.
