The 1999 ANZ Tasmanian International was a women's tennis tournament played on outdoor hard courts at the Hobart International Tennis Centre in Hobart in Australia that was part of Tier IVb of the 1999 WTA Tour. It was the sixth edition of the tournament and was held from 11 through 16 January 1999.

Heading into the tournament, Swiss player Patty Schnyder was the defending champion but she didn't defend her singles title due to her playing in Sydney in that same week.
