The Credit Union Classic presented by Wegmans was an annual golf tournament for professional women golfers on the Symetra Tour, the LPGA's developmental tour. The event was played from 1996 to 2014 in the Syracuse, New York area.

The title sponsors were three central New York-based credit unions: Empower Federal Credit Union, SEFCU, and The Summit Federal Credit Union. The presenting sponsor was Wegmans, a supermarket chain headquartered in Rochester, New York.[1]

The last benefiting charity from the Credit Union Classic was The First Tee of Syracuse, Inc.
