The 1936 Ladies Open Championships was held at the Queen's Club, West Kensington in London from 2–7 March 1936.
Margot Lumb won her second consecutive title defeating the Honourable Miss Anne Lytton-Milbanke in a repeat of the 1935 final. Eighty-six competitors entered resulting in the need for the Women's SRA to select fifty-six with the remaining twenty-nine taking part in eliminating events to find the final eight.[1]
