The Fuccillo Kia Classic, organised by Billy Fuccillo, is an annual golf tournament for professional women golfers on the Symetra Tour, the LPGA's developmental tour. The event has been played since 2000 in the Albany, New York area.

In 2010 and 2011, the title sponsor was Price Chopper, a chain of supermarkets headquartered in Schenectady, New York. Beginning in 2012 there is no title sponsor. The presenting sponsors in 2012 were SEFCU and Sunmark, credit unions in the Albany area, and Burns-Fazzi, Brock, a credit union benefits consulting company. SEFCU became title sponsor in 2014. The tournament purse in 2018 was $125,000.

The tournament is a 54-hole event, as are most Symetra Tour tournaments, and includes pre-tournament pro-am opportunities, in which local amateur golfers can play with the professional golfers from the Tour as a benefit for local charities.
