The Shanghai Masters, also known as the Bank of Communications OTO Shanghai Masters for sponsorship purposes, is a professional ranking snooker tournament. Ding Junhui is the reigning champion.
The event was introduced in the 2007/2008 season and is the second ranking event to be held in China as a result of the growth of the sport in the country. Like the China Open, an extra wildcard round is included before the first round proper, featuring eight players.
The tournament currently takes place at the Shanghai Grand Stage, Shanghai in September and is the third full ranking event of the season as of 2015.
