The 1927 Ladies Open Championships was held at the Queen's Club, West Kensington in London from 28 November - 4 December 1926.
Cecily Fenwick won her second successive title defeating Nancy Cave in a repeat of the 1926 final. This championship was held during 1926 but in the 1926/27 season so is attributed as being the 1927 event. Joyce Cave was still unable to compete due to a wrist injury.
