The Salinas Challenger (previously known as Challenger ATP de Salinas Diario Expreso) was a professional tennis tournament played on outdoor hardcourts. It was part of the ATP Challenger Tour. It was held annually in Salinas, Ecuador, from 1996 to 2014. After a hiatus, it came back in 2021, and it was played on hardcourt instead of red clay until 2023. ^[1]

David Nalbandian was the only one to have won both singles and doubles titles in the same year
