The New York State Open (know for sponsorship reasons as Lenox Advisors/NFP New York State Open) is the New York state open golf tournament, open to both amateur and professional golfers. It is organized by the Metropolitan chapter of the Professional Golfers' Association of America. It has been played annually since 1978 at a variety of courses around the state, but exclusively at Bethpage Black since 1996. It is a 54-hole stroke-play event, with a cut after 36 holes. In 2024, the first place prize was $17,500.

Earlier events by the same name were played in 1920 and 1921 and again from 1928 to 1930.
