Family Circle Tennis Center is a tennis center on Daniel Island in Charleston, South Carolina. Built in 2001, the center has 17 courts, including the 10,200-seat Volvo Car Stadium (previously named the Family Circle Magazine Stadium). Between 2001 and 2015, it hosted the WTA Tour's Family Circle Cup, which was promoted as the Volvo Cars Open beginning in the 2016 season.

This facility is unique as it is the only one WTA tournament played on green Har-Tru clay courts.

The Hootie & the Blowfish album Live in Charleston was recorded there on August 12, 2005.
