The Teresa Herrera Trophy (Spanish: Trofeo Teresa Herrera) is an annual pre-season football tournament hosted by Deportivo La Coruña at the Estadio Riazor.
Established in 1946, the tournament is usually held in August, and since 1990 it always features local club Deportivo.
The trophy was named after Teresa Margarita Herrera y Pedrosa (1712–1791), a philanthropist born in A Coruña that dedicated her life to the poor, using her house as shelter for sick and poor women in the city. In 1791 she founded the Hospital de la Caridad ("Charity Hospital"), specially dedicated to maternity and orphanage.
